Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] Use EFI variables for random seed

EFI has a rather unique benefit that it has access to some limited
non-volatile storage, where the kernel can store a random seed. This
series wires that up, with EFISTUB reading the seed and passing it to
the kernel, and with the kernel writing a new seed when the RNG is
initialized.

Patches 1 and 2 are to go through Ard's EFI tree, while patches 3, 4,
and 5 are to go through my RNG tree.

Jason A. Donenfeld (5):
  efi: vars: prohibit reading random seed variables
  efi: stub: use random seed from EFI variable
  random: add back async readiness notifier
  vsprintf: initialize siphash key using notifier
  efi: random: refresh non-volatile random seed when RNG is initialized
