[PATCH 0/4] random,x86,kvm: Add and use MSR_KVM_GET_RNG_SEED

[Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>]

virtio-rng is both too complicated and insufficient for initial rng
seeding.  It's far too complicated to use for KASLR or any other
early boot random number needs.  It also provides /dev/random-style
bits, which means that making guest boot wait for virtio-rng is
unacceptably slow, and doing it asynchronously means that
/dev/urandom might be predictable when userspace starts.

This introduces a very simple synchronous mechanism to get
/dev/urandom-style bits.

This is a KVM change: am I supposed to write a unit test somewhere?

Andy Lutomirski (4):
  x86,kvm: Add MSR_KVM_GET_RNG_SEED and a matching feature bit
  random,x86: Add arch_get_slow_rng_u64
  random: Seed pools from arch_get_slow_rng_u64 at startup
  x86,kaslr: Use MSR_KVM_GET_RNG_SEED for KASLR if available
