Merge tag 'random-6.11-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.

  First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
  lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
  enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
  doesn't count as being mlocked.

  Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
  generic manner and hooked into random.c.

  Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
  this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)

  Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.

  There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"

README

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 reStructuredText 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.
