[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] ppc/spapr: Implement H_RANDOM hypercall in QEMU

2015-09-11 Thread Thomas Huth
The PAPR interface defines a hypercall to pass high-quality hardware generated random numbers to guests. Recent kernels can already provide this hypercall to the guest if the right hardware random number generator is available. But in case the user wants to use another source like EGD, or QEMU is r
