This patch introduces s390 specific arch random functionality. There exists a generic kernel API for arch specific random number implementation (see include/linux/random.h). Here comes the header file and a very small static code part implementing the arch_random_* API based on the TRNG subfunction coming with the reworked PRNG instruction. The arch random implementation hooks into the kernel initialization and checks for availability of the TRNG function. In accordance to the arch random API all functions return false if the TRNG is not available. Otherwise the new high quality entropy source provides fresh random on each invocation. The s390 arch random feature build is controlled via CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM. This config option located in arch/s390/Kconfig is enabled by default and appears as entry "s390 architectural random number generation API" in the submenu "Processor type and features" for s390 builds.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
