Hello. I'm a distro maintainer and was wondering about the efficacy of
entropy daemons like haveged and jitterentropyd in qemu-kvm. One of the
authors of haveged [0] pointed out if the hardware cycles counter is
emulated and deterministic, and thus predictible. He therefore does not
recommend using HAVEGE on those systems. Is this the case with KVM's
counters?


I don't know the answer.  But try asking on qemu-discuss@xxxxxxxxxx or
maybe
KVM-related ML.

Have a nice day,
Martin


Thanks. Yes I had already sent there. Waiting patiently for an answer :)


And I should read more e-mail headers before wasting other people's time by
saying pointless words.
