Subject: random: credit architectural init the exact amount
From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 12e45a2a6308105469968951e6d563e8f4fea187 upstream.
RDRAND and RDSEED can fail sometimes, which is fine. We currently
initialize the RNG with 512 bits of RDRAND/RDSEED. We only need 256 bits
of those to succeed in order to initialize the RNG. Instead of the
current "all or nothing" approach, actually credit these contributions
the amount that is actually contributed.
