    Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
     "Originally I'd planned on sending each of the vDSO getrandom()
      architecture ports to their respective arch trees. But as we started
      to work on this, we found lots of interesting issues in the shared
      code and infrastructure, the fixes for which the various archs needed
      to base their work.
    
      So in the end, this turned into a nice collaborative effort fixing up
      issues and porting to 5 new architectures -- arm64, powerpc64,
      powerpc32, s390x, and loongarch64 -- with everybody pitching in and
      commenting on each other's code. It was a fun development cycle.
    
      This contains:
    
       - Numerous fixups to the vDSO selftest infrastructure, getting it
         running successfully on more platforms, and fixing bugs in it.
    
       - Additions to the vDSO getrandom & chacha selftests. Basically every
         time manual review unearthed a bug in a revision of an arch patch,
         or an ambiguity, the tests were augmented.
    
         By the time the last arch was submitted for review, s390x, v1 of
         the series was essentially fine right out of the gate.
    
       - Fixes to the the generic C implementation of vDSO getrandom, to
         build and run successfully on all archs, decoupling it from
         assumptions we had (unintentionally) made on x86_64 that didn't
         carry through to the other architectures.
    
       - Port of vDSO getrandom to LoongArch64, from Xi Ruoyao and acked by
         Huacai Chen.
    
       - Port of vDSO getrandom to ARM64, from Adhemerval Zanella and acked
         by Will Deacon.
    
       - Port of vDSO getrandom to PowerPC, in both 32-bit and 64-bit
         varieties, from Christophe Leroy and acked by Michael Ellerman.
    
       - Port of vDSO getrandom to S390X from Heiko Carstens, the arch
         maintainer.
    
      While it'd be natural for there to be things to fix up over the course
      of the development cycle, these patches got a decent amount of review
      from a fairly diverse crew of folks on the mailing lists, and, for the
      most part, they've been cooking in linux-next, which has been helpful
      for ironing out build issues.
    
      In terms of architectures, I think that mostly takes care of the
      important 64-bit archs with hardware still being produced and running
      production loads in settings where vDSO getrandom is likely to help.
    
      Arguably there's still RISC-V left, and we'll see for 6.13 whether
      they find it useful and submit a port"
