2012-11-16rng-egd: introduce EGD compliant RNG backendAnthony Liguori
This backend talks EGD to a CharDriverState. A typical way to invoke this would be: qemu -chardev socket,host=localhost,port=1024,id=chr0 \ -object rng-egd,chardev=chr0,id=egd0 \ -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=egd0 Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2012-11-16rng-random: add an RNG backend that uses /dev/random (v3)Anthony Liguori
The filename can be overridden but it expects a non-blocking source of entropy. A typical invocation would be: qemu -object rng-random,id=rng0 -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0 This can also be used with /dev/urandom by using the command line: qemu -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \ -device virtio-rng-pci,rng=rng0 Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> --- v1 -> v2 - merged header split patch into this one v2 -> v3 - bug fix in rng-random (Paolo)
