Merge tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random

Pull random driver updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "A number of improvements for the /dev/random driver; the most
  important is the use of a ChaCha20-based CRNG for /dev/urandom, which
  is faster, more efficient, and easier to make scalable for
  silly/abusive userspace programs that want to read from /dev/urandom
  in a tight loop on NUMA systems.

  This set of patches also improves entropy gathering on VM's running on
  Microsoft Azure, and will take advantage of a hw random number
  generator (if present) to initialize the /dev/urandom pool"

(It turns out that the random tree hadn't been in linux-next this time
around, because it had been dropped earlier as being too quiet.  Oh
well).
