powerpc/pseries: Implement arch_get_random_long() based on H_RANDOM
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add support for the arch_get_random_long() hook based on the H_RANDOM
hypervisor call. We trust the hypervisor to provide us with random data,
ie. we don't whiten it in anyway.
