-Subject: [PATCH 2/7] random: treat bootloader trust toggle the same way as cpu
- trust toggle
-
-If CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU is set, the RNG initializes using RDRAND.
-But, the user can disable (or enable) this behavior by setting
-`random.trust_cpu=0/1` on the kernel command line. This allows system
-builders to do reasonable things while avoiding howls from tinfoil
-hatters. (Or vice versa.)
-
-CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER is basically the same thing, but regards
-the seed passed via EFI or device tree, which might come from RDRAND or
-a TPM or somewhere else. In order to allow distros to more easily enable
-this while avoiding those same howls (or vice versa), this commit adds
-the corresponding `random.trust_bootloader=0/1` toggle.
