[PATCH 3/3] powerpc/pseries: Implement arch_get_random_long() based on H_RANDOM

Michael Ellerman michael at ellerman.id.au
Fri Oct 11 14:07:59 EST 2013


Add support for the arch_get_random_long() hook based on the H_RANDOM
hypervisor call. We trust the hypervisor to provide us with random data,
ie. we don't whiten it in anyway.
