[PATCH v4 0/1] arm64: Implement archrandom.h for ARMv8.5-RNG

[Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org>]

The ARMv8.5-RNG extension adds a hardware random number generator.
The plumbing for this is already present in the kernel; we just
have to take advantage of that.

Changes since v2:
  * Keep arch_get_random{,_seed}_long in sync.
  * Use __cpus_have_const_cap before falling back to this_cpu_has_cap.

Changes since v1:
  * Use __mrs_s and fix missing cc clobber (Mark),
  * Log rng failures with pr_warn (Mark),
  * Use __must_check; put RNDR in arch_get_random_long and RNDRRS
    in arch_get_random_seed_long (Ard),
  * Use ARM64_CPUCAP_WEAK_LOCAL_CPU_FEATURE, and check this_cpu_has_cap
    when reading random data.
  * Move everything out of line, now that there are 5 other function
    calls involved, and to unify the rate limiting on the pr_warn.

Tested with QEMU.  What's not tested is hot plugging cpus with differing
capabilities; QEMU would need some extension to allow that sort of thing.
