[PATCH v35 10/13] LRNG - add Jitter RNG fast noise source

From: Stephan Müller
Date: Fri Sep 18 2020 - 06:12:37 EST


The Jitter RNG fast noise source implemented as part of the kernel
crypto API is queried for 256 bits of entropy at the time the seed
buffer managed by the LRNG is about to be filled.
