[PATCH v36 00/13] /dev/random - a new approach

2020-10-19 Thread Stephan Müller
Hi, The following patch set provides a different approach to /dev/random which is called Linux Random Number Generator (LRNG) to collect entropy within the Linux kernel. It provides the same API and ABI and can be used as a drop-in replacement. The LRNG implements at least all features of the exi
