Here is a small patch for 2.6.11 that adds a routine:

add_true_randomness(__u32 *buf, int nwords);



It neither applies correctly nor compiles in current kernels. 2.6.11 is very old in kernel time.


Hrm. This is getting pretty lame, if you can't take patches from the -latest- stable release. It's pretty easy in BK:

    bk clone -ql -rv2.6.11 linux-2.6 rng-2.6.11
    cd rng-2.6.11
    { apply patch }
    bk pull ../linux-2.6

Can you set up something like that?

I thought that the latest stable release was 2.6.11.5.

However, what I really want to do is ask what patches should be
made against.  I suggested on linux-scsi a day or 2 ago that
they should be made against the latest linus-bk (or snapshot)
unless the patch only applies to -mm, then they should obviously
be made against -mm.  2.6.11 plain is relatively aged IMO also....
