rng-core module allocates rng_buffer by kmalloc() since commit
f7f154f1246ccc5a0a7e9ce50932627d60a0c878. But this buffer won't be
freed and there is a memory leak possibility at module exit.

<title>hw_random: make buffer usable in scatterlist.</title>

virtio_rng feeds the randomness buffer handed by the core directly
into the scatterlist, since commit bb347d98079a547e80bd4722dee1de61e4dca0e8.

However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address
(at least on most archs).  We could fix this in virtio_rng, but it's actually
far easier to just do it in the core as virtio_rng would have to allocate
a buffer every time (it doesn't know how much the core will want to read).

<title>llseek: automatically add .llseek fop</title>

<id>6038f373a3dc1f1c26496e60b6c40b164716f07e</id>
<content type='text'>
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

When the loop terminates with size == 0 in rng_dev_read we will
unlock the rng mutex twice.

This patch prevents the hw_random core using too small of a buffer
on machines with small cacheline sizes.

This patch implements a new method by which hw_random hardware drivers
can pass data to the core more efficiently, using a shared buffer.

The old methods have been retained as a compatability layer until all the
drivers have been updated.
