It turned out recently that on certain AMD F15h and F16h machines, due
to the BIOS dropping the ball after resume, yet again, RDRAND would not
function anymore:
c49a0a8013 ("x86/CPU/AMD: Clear RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h/16h")
Add a silly test to the CPU bringup path, to sanity-check the random
data RDRAND returns and scream as loudly as possible if that returned
random data doesn't change.

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.
