	If no crypto library is included in the build, QEMU uses qcrypto_random_bytes() to generate random data. That function tried to open /dev/urandom or /dev/random and if opening both files failed it errored out. Those files obviously do not exist on windows, so there the code uses CryptGenRandom(). Furthermore there was some refactoring and a new function qcrypto_random_init() was introduced. If a proper crypto library (gnutls or libgcrypt) is included in the build, this function does nothing. If neither is included it initializes the (platform specific) handles that are used by qcrypto_random_bytes(). Either: * a handle to /dev/urandom \| /dev/random on unix like systems * a handle to a cryptographic service provider on windows Signed-off-by: Geert Martin Ijewski <gm.ijewski@web.de> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2016-03-17	crypto: add cryptographic random byte source	Daniel P. Berrange
	There are three backend impls provided. The preferred is gnutls, which is backed by nettle in modern distros. The gcrypt impl is provided for cases where QEMU build against gnutls is disabled, but crypto is still desired. No nettle impl is provided, since it is non-trivial to use the nettle APIs for random numbers. Users of nettle should ensure gnutls is enabled for QEMU.
