2012-11-16virtio-rng-pci: create a default backend if none existsAnthony Liguori
This allows you to specify: $ qemu -device virtio-rng-pci And things will Just Work with a reasonable default. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2012-11-16virtio-rng: add rate limiting supportAnthony Liguori
This adds parameters to virtio-rng-pci to allow rate limiting the entropy a guest receives. An example command line: $ qemu -device virtio-rng-pci,max-bytes=1024,period=1000 Would limit entropy collection to 1Kb/s. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2012-11-16virtio-rng: hardware random number generator deviceAmit Shah
The Linux kernel already has a virtio-rng driver, this is the device implementation. When the guest asks for entropy from the virtio hwrng, it puts a buffer in the vq. We then put entropy into that buffer, and push it back to the guest.
