Subject: [PATCH 09/11] crypto: rng - Make crypto_stdrng_get_bytes() use normal RNG in non-FIPS mode
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:15:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326001507.66500-10-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326001507.66500-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
"stdrng" is needed only in "FIPS mode". Therefore, make
crypto_stdrng_get_bytes() delegate to either the normal Linux RNG or to
"stdrng", depending on the current mode.
This will eliminate the need to built the SP800-90A DRBG and its
dependencies into CRYPTO_FIPS=n kernels.
