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.

tristate "Hardware random number generator" 404 help 405 This option enables UML's "hardware" random number generator. It 406 attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy 407 as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its 408 own drivers. It registers itself as a standard hardware random number 409 generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is 410 /dev/hwrng. 411 The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package 412 (check your distro, or download from 413 http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/). rngd periodically reads 414 /dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random. 415
