Merge tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random
Pull random changes from Ted Ts'o: "Change /dev/random so that it uses the CRNG and only blocking if the CRNG hasn't initialized, instead of the old blocking pool. Also clean up archrandom.h, and some other miscellaneous cleanups" * tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random: (24 commits) s390x: Mark archrandom.h functions __must_check powerpc: Mark archrandom.h functions __must_check powerpc: Use bool in archrandom.h x86: Mark archrandom.h functions __must_check linux/random.h: Mark CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM functions __must_check linux/random.h: Use false with bool linux/random.h: Remove arch_has_random, arch_has_random_seed s390: Remove arch_has_random, arch_has_random_seed powerpc: Remove arch_has_random, arch_has_random_seed x86: Remove arch_has_random, arch_has_random_seed random: remove some dead code of poolinfo random: fix typo in add_timer_randomness() random: Add and use pr_fmt() random: convert to ENTROPY_BITS for better code readability random: remove unnecessary unlikely() random: remove kernel.random.read_wakeup_threshold random: delete code to pull data into pools random: remove the blocking pool random: make /dev/random be almost like /dev/urandom random: ignore GRND_RANDOM in getentropy(2) ...
