[PATCH v26 09/12] LRNG - add Jitter RNG fast noise source

Stephan Müller
2019-11-23T20:40:13Z

The Jitter RNG fast noise source implemented as part of the kernel
crypto API is queried for 256 bits of entropy at the time the seed
buffer managed by the LRNG is about to be filled.

+ The Linux RNG may use the Jitter RNG as noise source. Enabling
+ this option enables the use of the Jitter RNG. Its default
+ entropy level is 16 bits of entropy per 256 data bits delivered
