7 default m
8 ---help---
9 Hardware Random Number Generator Core infrastructure.
10
11 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
12 module will be called rng-core. This provides a device
13 that's usually called /dev/hwrng, and which exposes one
14 of possibly several hardware random number generators.
15
16 These hardware random number generators do not feed directly
17 into the kernel's random number generator. That is usually
18 handled by the "rngd" daemon. Documentation/hw_random.txt
19 has more information.

386config UML_RANDOM
387 depends on UML
388 tristate "Hardware random number generator"
389 help
390 This option enables UML's "hardware" random number generator. It
391 attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy
392 as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its
393 own drivers. It registers itself as a standard hardware random number
394 generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is
395 /dev/hwrng.
396 The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package
397 (check your distro, or download from
398 http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/). rngd periodically reads
399 /dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random.
