| default m |
| ---help--- |
| Hardware Random Number Generator Core infrastructure. |
| |
| To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the |
| module will be called rng-core. This provides a device |
| that's usually called /dev/hw_random, and which exposes one |
| of possibly several hardware random number generators. |
| |
| These hardware random number generators do not feed directly |
| into the kernel's random number generator. That is usually |
| handled by the "rngd" daemon. Documentation/hw_random.txt |
| has more information. |

| config UML_RANDOM |
| depends on UML |
| tristate "Hardware random number generator" |
| help |
| This option enables UML's "hardware" random number generator. It |
| attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy |
| as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its |
| own drivers. It registers itself as a standard hardware random number |
| generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is |
| /dev/hwrng. |
| The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package |
| (check your distro, or download from |
| http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/). rngd periodically reads |
| /dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random. |
