SP800-90B specifies various requirements for the noise source(s) that may seed any DRNG including SP800-90A DRBGs. In November 2020, SP800-90B will be mandated for all noise sources that provide entropy to DRBGs as part of a FIPS 140-[2|3] validation or other evaluation types. Without SP800-90B compliance, a noise source is defined to always deliver zero bits of entropy. This patch ports the SP800-90B compliance from the user space Jitter RNG version 2.2.0. The following changes are applied: - addition of (an enhanced version of) the repetitive count test (RCT) from SP800-90B section 4.4.1 - the enhancement is due to the fact of using the stuck test as input to the RCT. - addition of the adaptive proportion test (APT) from SP800-90B section 4.4.2 - update of the power-on self test to perform a test measurement of 1024 noise samples compliant to SP800-90B section 4.3 - remove of the continuous random number generator test which is replaced by APT and RCT Health test failures due to the SP800-90B operation are only enforced in FIPS mode. If a runtime health test failure is detected, the Jitter RNG is reset. If more than 1024 resets in a row are performed, a permanent error is returned to the caller.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
