A valid implementation choice for the ChooseRandomNonExcludedTag()
pseudocode function used by IRG is to behave in the same way as with
GCR_EL1.RRND=0. This would mean that RGSR_EL1.SEED is used as an LFSR
which must have a non-zero value in order for IRG to properly produce
pseudorandom numbers. However, RGSR_EL1 is reset to an UNKNOWN value
on soft reset and thus may reset to 0. Therefore we must initialize
RGSR_EL1.SEED to a non-zero value in order to ensure that IRG behaves
as expected.

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 Restructured Text 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.
