Hi Ted,
with the removal of the nonblocking_pool, several code paths are now unused which were only applicable to the nonblocking pool. This patch set removes these unused code paths.
Also, a code path in the add_interrupt_randomness function that is never used is removed.
In addition, the FIPS 140-2 continuous self tests are required to process the output data of the RNG given to a caller. A patch is added to cover this requirement.
Ciao Stephan
Stephan Mueller (8): random: remove stale maybe_reseed_primary_crng random: remove stale urandom_init_wait random: trigger random_ready callback upon crng_init == 1 random: remove unused branch in hot code path random: remove variable limit random: fix comment for unused random_min_urandom_seed random: remove noop function call to xfer_secondary_pool random: move FIPS continuous test to output functions
