Theodore Ts'o 6e513bc20c random: fix crng_ready() test commit `43838a23a0` upstream. The crng_init variable has three states: 0: The CRNG is not initialized at all 1: The CRNG has a small amount of entropy, hopefully good enough for early-boot, non-cryptographical use cases 2: The CRNG is fully initialized and we are sure it is safe for cryptographic use cases. The crng_ready() function should only return true once we are in the last state. This addresses CVE-2018-1108. Reported-by: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Fixes: `e192be9d9a` ("random: replace non-blocking pool...")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
