Merge branch 'random-5.17-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "These a bit more numerous than usual for the RNG, due to folks
  resubmitting patches that had been pending prior and generally renewed
  interest.

  There are a few categories of patches in here:

   1) Dominik Brodowski and I traded a series back and forth for a some
      weeks that fixed numerous issues related to seeds being provided
      at extremely early boot by the firmware, before other parts of the
      kernel or of the RNG have been initialized, both fixing some
      crashes and addressing correctness around early boot randomness.
      One of these is marked for stable.

   2) I replaced the RNG's usage of SHA-1 with BLAKE2s in the entropy
      extractor, and made the construction a bit safer and more
      standard. This was sort of a long overdue low hanging fruit, as we
      were supposed to have phased out SHA-1 usage quite some time ago
      (even if all we needed here was non-invertibility). Along the way
      it also made extraction 131% faster. This required a bit of
      Kconfig and symbol plumbing to make things work well with the
      crypto libraries, which is one of the reasons why I'm sending you
      this pull early in the cycle.

   3) I got rid of a truly superfluous call to RDRAND in the hot path,
      which resulted in a whopping 370% increase in performance.

   4) Sebastian Andrzej Siewior sent some patches regarding PREEMPT_RT,
      the full series of which wasn't ready yet, but the first two
      preparatory cleanups were good on their own. One of them touches
      files in kernel/irq/, which is the other reason why I'm sending
      you this pull early in the cycle.

   5) Other assorted correctness fixes from Eric Biggers, Jann Horn,
      Mark Brown, Dominik Brodowski, and myself"
