Subject: [PATCH] um: seed rng using host OS rng
Date:   Wed, 13 Jul 2022 01:27:38 +0200

UML generally does not provide access to special CPU instructions like
RDRAND, and execution tends to be rather deterministic, with no real
hardware interrupts, making good randomness really very hard, if not
all together impossible. Not only is this a security eyebrow raiser, but
it's also quite annoying when trying to do various pieces of UML-based
automation that takes a long time to boot, if ever.

Fix this by trivially calling getrandom() in the host and using that
seed as "bootloader randomness", which initializes the rng immediately
at UML boot.

The old behavior can be restored the same way as on any other arch, by
way of CONFIG_TRUST_BOOTLOADER_RANDOMNESS=n or
random.trust_bootloader=0. So seen from that perspective, this just
makes UML act like other archs, which is positive in its own right.
