5config HW_RANDOM
6	tristate "Hardware Random Number Generator Core support"
7	default m
8	---help---
9	  Hardware Random Number Generator Core infrastructure.
10
11	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
12	  module will be called rng-core.  This provides a device
13	  that's usually called /dev/hw_random, and which exposes one
14	  of possibly several hardware random number generators.
15
16	  These hardware random number generators do not feed directly
17	  into the kernel's random number generator.  That is usually
18	  handled by the "rngd" daemon.  Documentation/hw_random.txt
19	  has more information.

253config UML_RANDOM
254	depends on UML
255	tristate "Hardware random number generator"
256	help
257	  This option enables UML's "hardware" random number generator.  It
258	  attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy
259	  as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its
260	  own drivers.  It registers itself as a standard hardware random number
261	  generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is
262	  /dev/hwrng.
263	  The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package
264	  (check your distro, or download from
265	  http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/).  rngd periodically reads
266	  /dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random.
