This adds powernv_get_random_darn() which utilises the darn instruction, introduced in ISA v3.0/POWER9. The darn instruction can potentially return an error, which is supported by the get_random_seed() API, in normal usage if we see an error we just return that to the caller. However when detecting whether darn is functional at boot we try up to 10 times, before deciding that darn doesn't work and failing the registration of get_random_seed(). That way an intermittent failure at boot doesn't deprive the system of randomness until the next reboot.

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.
