Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld:

 - The input subsystem contributes entropy in some places where a
   spinlock is held, but the entropy accounting code only handled
   callers being in an interrupt or non-atomic process context, but not
   atomic process context. We fix this by removing an optimization and
   just calling queue_work() unconditionally.

 - Greg accidently sent up a patch not intended for his tree and that
   had been nack'd, so that's now reverted.

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.
