I don't anticipate that to be a problem. And before they do, and/or if you are dealing with a system where the kernel has been upgraded, but not libc, you have your choice of either sticking with the binary_sysctl approach, or calling getrandom directly using the syscall method; and in that case, whether we use getrandom() or provide an exact getentropy() replacement system call isn't that much difference, since you'd have to have Linux-specific workaround code anyway.... - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
