[PATCH] Revert "efi/random: Treat EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL output as bootloader randomness"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This reverts commit 18b915ac6b0ac5ba7ded03156860f60a9f16df2b.

When CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER is enabled add_bootloader_randomness()
calls add_hwgenerator_randomness() which might sleep, but this is not
possible during early kernel initialization. This revert fixes following
NULL pointer deference:
