[PATCH v2 3/6] KEYS: trusted: allow users to use kernel RNG for key material

[Ahmad Fatoum]

The two existing trusted key sources don't make use of the kernel RNG,
but instead let the hardware doing the sealing/unsealing also
generate the random key material. However, Users may want to place
less trust into the quality of the trust source's random number
generator and instead use the kernel entropy pool, which can be
seeded from multiple entropy sources.

Make this possible by adding a new trusted.kernel_rng parameter,
that will force use of the kernel RNG. In its absence, it's up
to the trust source to decide, which random numbers to use,
maintaining the existing behavior.

+New keys are created from random numbers. They are encrypted/decrypted using
+a child key in the storage key hierarchy. Encryption and decryption of the
+child key must be protected by a strong access control policy within the

-  *  TPM (hardware device) based RNG
+  *  TPM: hardware device based RNG
 
-     Strength of random numbers may vary from one device manufacturer to
-     another.

-  *  TEE (OP-TEE based on Arm TrustZone) based RNG
+  *  TEE: OP-TEE based on Arm TrustZone based RNG
 
      RNG is customizable as per platform needs. It can either be direct output
      from platform specific hardware RNG or a software based Fortuna CSPRNG
      which can be seeded via multiple entropy sources.
 
+Optionally, users may specify ``trusted.kernel_rng=1`` on the kernel
+command-line to override the used RNG with the kernel's random number pool.
