  random: Make crng state queryable (2018-08-02 17:33:06 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Some changes to trust cpu-based hwrng (such as RDRAND) for
initializing hashed pointers and (optionally, controlled by a config
option) to initialize the CRNG to avoid boot hangs.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Ingo Molnar (1):
      random: remove preempt disabled region

Jason A. Donenfeld (1):
      random: Make crng state queryable

Theodore Ts'o (1):
      random: add a config option to trust the CPU's hwrng

Tobin C. Harding (4):
      random: Fix whitespace pre random-bytes work
      random: Return nbytes filled from hw RNG
      vsprintf: Use hw RNG for ptr_key
      vsprintf: Add command line option debug_boot_weak_hash
