random: strengthen input validation for RNDADDTOENTCNT (2016-07-03 17:09:33 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
A number of improvements for the /dev/random driver; the most
important is the use of a ChaCha20-based CRNG for /dev/urandom, which
is faster, more efficient, and easier to make scalable for
silly/abusive userspace programs that want to read from /dev/urandom
in a tight loop on NUMA systems.

This set of patches also improves entropy gathering on VM's running on
Microsoft Azure, and will take advantage of a hw random number
generator (if present) to initialize the /dev/urandom pool.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Eric Biggers (1):
random: properly align get_random_int_hash

Stephan Mueller (1):
random: add interrupt callback to VMBus IRQ handler

Theodore Ts'o (6):
random: initialize the non-blocking pool via add_hwgenerator_randomness()
random: print a warning for the first ten uninitialized random users
random: replace non-blocking pool with a Chacha20-based CRNG
random: make /dev/urandom scalable for silly userspace programs
random: add backtracking protection to the CRNG
random: strengthen input validation for RNDADDTOENTCNT
