Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld: - Per your suggestion, random reads now won't fail if there's a page fault after some non-zero amount of data has been read, which makes the behavior consistent with all other reads in the kernel. - Rather than an inconsistent mix of random_get_entropy() returning an unsigned long or a cycles_t, now it just returns an unsigned long. - A memcpy() was replaced with an memmove(), because the addresses are sometimes overlapping. In practice the destination is always before the source, so not really an issue, but better to be correct than not. * tag 'random-5.18-rc3-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: random: use memmove instead of memcpy for remaining 32 bytes random: make random_get_entropy() return an unsigned long random: allow partial reads if later user copies fail
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.
