[PATCH v2] powerpc/powernv: Use darn instr for random_seed on p9

Fri Jul 7 17:02:49 AEST 2017


Currently ppc_md.get_random_seed uses the powernv_get_random_long function.
A guest calling this function would have to go through the hypervisor. The
'darn' instruction, introduced in POWER9, allows us to bypass this by
directly obtaining a value from the mmio region.

This patch adds a function for ppc_md.get_random_seed on p9,
utilising the darn instruction.

v2:
	- remove repeat darn attempts
	- move hook to rng_init
