Subject: [PATCH v7 04/20] KVM: selftests: Initialize the default/global pRNG during kvm_selftest_init()
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 17:20:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260613002031.745413-5-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260613002031.745413-1-seanjc@google.com>

Initialize the default kvm_rng during selftest initialization so that the
pRNG can be used by tests before creating a VM.  As pointed out by Sashiko,
failure to actually initialize the generate makes it decidedly not random.
