+ tristate "Hardware Random Number Generator Core support"
+ default m
+ ---help---
+ Hardware Random Number Generator Core infrastructure.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called rng-core. This provides a device
+ that's usually called /dev/hw_random, and which exposes one
+ of possibly several hardware random number generators.
+
+ These hardware random number generators do not feed directly
+ into the kernel's random number generator. That is usually
+ handled by the "rngd" daemon. Documentation/hw_random.txt
+ has more information.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.

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