Invoke the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL protocol in the context of the x86 EFI stub,
same as is done on arm/arm64 since commit 568bc4e87033 ("efi/arm*/libstub:
Invoke EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to seed the UEFI RNG table"). Within the stub,
a Linux-specific RNG seed UEFI config table will be seeded. The EFI routines
in the core kernel will pick that up later, yet still early during boot,
to seed the kernel entropy pool. If CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER, entropy
is credited for this seed.

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.
