crng_fast_load() and crng_slow_load() have different semantics: - crng_fast_load() xors and accounts with crng_init_cnt. - crng_slow_load() hashes and doesn't account. However add_hwgenerator_randomness() can afford to hash (it's called from a kthread), and it should account. Additionally, ones that can afford to hash don't need to take a trylock but can take a normal lock. So, we combine these into one function, crng_pre_init_inject(), which allows us to control these in a uniform way. This will make it simpler later to simplify this all down when the time comes for that.

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.
