Subject: [PATCH v3 02/11] prandom: introduce prandom_bytes() and prandom_bytes_state()
Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:37:01 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1352813830-4624-3-git-send-email-akinobu.mita@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1352813830-4624-1-git-send-email-akinobu.mita@gmail.com>
Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.
The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it generates pseudo-random
numbers by prandom_u32(). It doesn't consume the entropy pool, and the
sequence is reproducible if the same rnd_state is used. So it is suitable
for generating random bytes for testing.

* v3
- rename random32_get_bytes_state to prandom_bytes_state
- ensure prandom_bytes_state() generates same bytes with same rnd_state
* v2
- rename prandom32_get_bytes to random32_get_bytes_state
