From: Herbert Xu on gitlab.com Merge Request: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1304 NOTE: Truncated patchset since committer email 'herb...@gondor.apana.org.au' does not match the submitter's GitLab public email address 'herbert...@redhat.com'. Upstream: RHEL only Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1984784
The RHEL FIPS certification effort ran into an show-stopper with /dev/urandom and getrandom(2) not being FIPS-compliant. At this point there is no realistic chance of making them FIPS-compliant upstream. It has also been deemed unrealistic to change user-space to use the FIPS-compliant RNG through the Crypto API. Therefore this patch series overrides /dev/*random as well as getrandom(2) with the Crypto API RNG so that FIPS certification can proceed.
