Support for a Linux kernel module that utilizes Intel DRNG #7

@abhinava

Description

@abhinava

Provide a Linux kernel module that provides the following features:

  • Ability to dynamically load and unload
  • Check for CPU support for RDRAND and RDSEED
    • If neither of these capabilities are supported, the kernel module loading fails
  • Once loaded, provide two files /dev/intel-drng-rdrand and /dev/intel-drng-rdseed from which user space applications can retrieve the random numbers/seed
    • Open: How do user space apps specify the length/size of the random number/seed?
  • The module should be thread safe
