When support for RNDR/RNDRRS was introduced, we elected to only implement arch_get_random_seed_int/_long(), and back them by RNDR instead of RNDRRS. This was needed to prevent potential performance and/or starvation issues resulting from the fact that the /dev/random driver used to invoke these routines on various hot paths. These issues have all been addressed now [0] [1], and so we can wire up this API more straight-forwardly: - map arch_get_random_int/_long() onto RNDR, which returns the output of a DRBG that is reseeded at an implemented defined rate; - map arch_get_random_seed_int/_long() onto the TRNG firmware service, which returns true, conditioned entropy, or onto RNDRRS if the TRNG service is unavailable, which returns the output of a DRBG that is reseeded every time it is used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
