Theodore Ts'o 8ef35c866f random: set up the NUMA crng instances after the CRNG is fully initialized
Until the primary_crng is fully initialized, don't initialize the NUMA
crng nodes.  Otherwise users of /dev/urandom on NUMA systems before
the CRNG is fully initialized can get very bad quality randomness.  Of
course everyone should move to getrandom(2) where this won't be an
issue, but there's a lot of legacy code out there.  This related to
CVE-2018-1108.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
