config TEST_RANDOM_GENERATOR
bool "Non-random number generator"
depends on !ENTROPY_HAS_DRIVER
help
This option signifies that the kernel's random number APIs are
permitted to return values that are not truly random.
This capability is provided for testing purposes, when a truly random
number generator is not available. The non-random number generator
should not be used in a production environment.

help
This options enables number generator based on timestamp counter
of x86 boards, obtained with rdtsc instruction.
config TIMER_RANDOM_GENERATOR
bool "System timer clock based number generator"
depends on TEST_RANDOM_GENERATOR
help
This options enables number generator based on system timer
clock. This number generator is not random and used for
testing only.
config ENTROPY_DEVICE_RANDOM_GENERATOR
bool "Use entropy driver to generate random numbers"
depends on ENTROPY_HAS_DRIVER
help
Enables a random number generator that uses the enabled
hardware entropy gathering driver to generate random
numbers.
config XOROSHIRO_RANDOM_GENERATOR
bool "Use Xoroshiro128+ as PRNG"
depends on ENTROPY_HAS_DRIVER
help
Enables the Xoroshiro128+ pseudo-random number generator, that
uses the entropy driver as a seed source. This is not a
cryptographically secure random number generator.
It is so named because it uses 128 bits of state.
