The patch set replaces the LFSR conditioning function of the Jitter RNG with SHA-3 256. This change requires also a new test interface to analyze the raw unconditioned noise data. Albeit the test interface can be used directly with dd, a small helper tool is provided at [1] which can be used to perform the collection of raw entropy. The analysis of the data can be done with your favorite tool. Or you may use the helper in [2] which uses the NIST SP800-90B tool for entropy rate measurement.
