Subject: [PATCH] random: make CPU trust a boot parameter
|
|
|
|
Instead of forcing a distro or other system builder to choose
|
|
at build time whether the CPU is trusted for CRNG seeding via
|
|
CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU, provide a boot-time parameter for end users to
|
|
control the choice. The CONFIG will set the default state instead.
