Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld:

 - Eric noticed that the memmove() in crng_fast_key_erasure() was bogus,
   so this has been changed to a memcpy() and the confusing situation
   clarified with a detailed comment.

 - [Half]SipHash documentation updates from Bagas and Eric, after Eric
   pointed out that the use of HalfSipHash in random.c made a bit of the
   text potentially misleading.

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.
