Subject: hwrng: create filler thread
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=be4000bc464;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

hwrng: create filler thread

This can be viewed as the in-kernel equivalent of hwrngd;
like FUSE it is a good thing to have a mechanism in user land,
but for some reasons (simplicity, secrecy, integrity, speed)
it may be better to have it in kernel space.

This patch creates a thread once a hwrng registers, and uses
the previously established add_hwgenerator_randomness() to feed
its data to the input pool as long as needed. A derating factor
is used to bias the entropy estimation and to disable this
mechanism entirely when set to zero.
