    Merge tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random · 52f6c588
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull random updates from Ted Ts'o:
     "Add wait_for_random_bytes() and get_random_*_wait() functions so that
      callers can more safely get random bytes if they can block until the
      CRNG is initialized.
    
      Also print a warning if get_random_*() is called before the CRNG is
      initialized. By default, only one single-line warning will be printed
      per boot. If CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM is defined, then a
      warning will be printed for each function which tries to get random
      bytes before the CRNG is initialized. This can get spammy for certain
      architecture types, so it is not enabled by default"
