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/hwrng, 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.

431	help
432	  This option enables UML's "hardware" random number generator.  It
433	  attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy
434	  as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its
435	  own drivers.  It registers itself as a standard hardware random number
436	  generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is
437	  /dev/hwrng.
438	  The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package
439	  (check your distro, or download from
440	  http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/).  rngd periodically reads
441	  /dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random.
