I did the "guts", he did the "brains" and all the testing. - -Change history: - - Version 1.0.0: - * Merge Intel, AMD, VIA RNG drivers into one. - Further changelog in BitKeeper. - - Version 0.9.8: - * Support other i8xx chipsets by adding 82801E detection - * 82801DB detection is the same as for 82801CA. - - Version 0.9.7: - * Support other i8xx chipsets too (by adding 82801BA(M) and - 82801CA(M) detection) - - Version 0.9.6: - * Internal driver cleanups, prep for 1.0.0 release. - - Version 0.9.5: - * Rip out entropy injection via timer. It never ever worked, - and a better solution (rngd) is now available. - - Version 0.9.4: - * Fix: Remove request_mem_region - * Fix: Horrible bugs in FIPS calculation and test execution - - Version 0.9.3: - * Clean up rng_read a bit. - * Update i810_rng driver Web site URL. - * Increase default timer interval to 4 samples per second. - * Abort if mem region is not available. - * BSS zero-initialization cleanup. - * Call misc_register() from rng_init_one. - * Fix O_NONBLOCK to occur before we schedule. - - Version 0.9.2: - * Simplify open blocking logic - - Version 0.9.1: - * Support i815 chipsets too (Matt Sottek) - * Fix reference counting when statically compiled (prumpf) - * Rewrite rng_dev_read (prumpf) - * Make module races less likely (prumpf) - * Small miscellaneous bug fixes (prumpf) - * Use pci table for PCI id list - - Version 0.9.0: - * Don't register a pci_driver, because we are really - using PCI bridge vendor/device ids, and someone - may want to register a driver for the bridge. (bug fix) - * Don't let the usage count go negative (bug fix) - * Clean up spinlocks (bug fix) - * Enable PCI device, if necessary (bug fix) - * iounmap on module unload (bug fix) - * If RNG chrdev is already in use when open(2) is called, - sleep until it is available. - * Remove redundant globals rng_allocated, rng_use_count - * Convert numeric globals to unsigned - * Module unload cleanup - - Version 0.6.2: - * Clean up spinlocks. Since we don't have any interrupts - to worry about, but we do have a timer to worry about, - we use spin_lock_bh everywhere except the timer function - itself. - * Fix module load/unload. - * Fix timer function and h/w enable/disable logic - * New timer interval sysctl - * Clean up sysctl names
