When running Linux inside a Nitro Enclave, the hypervisor provides a special virtio device called "Nitro Security Module" (NSM). This device has 3 main functions: 1) Provide attestation reports 2) Modify PCR state 3) Provide entropy This patch adds a driver for NSM that exposes a /dev/nsm device node which user space can issue an ioctl on this device with raw NSM CBOR formatted commands to request attestation documents, influence PCR states, read entropy and enumerate status of the device. In addition, the driver implements a hwrng backend.

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.
