The patch set replaces the LFSR conditioning function of the Jitter RNG
with SHA-3 256. This change requires also a new test interface to
analyze the raw unconditioned noise data.

Albeit the test interface can be used directly with dd, a small helper
tool is provided at [1] which can be used to perform the collection
of raw entropy. The analysis of the data can be done with your favorite
tool. Or you may use the helper in [2] which uses the NIST SP800-90B
tool for entropy rate measurement.

[2] https://github.com/smuellerDD/jitterentropy-library/tree/master/tests/raw-entropy/validation-runtime-kernel

Changes v3:

- fix jent_kcapi_init: error code for jent_entropy_collector_alloc now
  properly cleans up the state

- fix jent_kcapi_init: initialize lock at the beginning as it is used in
  error code path function jent_kcapi_cleanup

- editorial change: update description in MODULE_PARM_DESC in patch 0002

Changes v2:

- fix use-after-free by switching shash_desc_zero and crypto_free_shash
  in jent_mod_init reported by kernel-test-robot

Stephan Mueller (2):
  crypto: jitter - replace LFSR with SHA3-256
  crypto: jitter - add interface for gathering of raw entropy
