Bug: jitter entropy health test unreliable on Rpi 4 (arm64)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

i recently tested Linux 6.5-rc2 on the Raspberry Pi 4 (arm64/defconfig) and noticed the following message:

[ 0.136349] jitterentropy: Initialization failed with host not compliant with requirements: 9

Since Linux 6.5-rc2 this message occurs in around about 1 of 2 cases during boot. In Linux 6.4 this message i never saw this message.

I bisected this issue:

# first bad commit: [d23659769ad1bf2cbafaa0efcbae20ef1a74f77e] crypto: jitter - correct health test during initialization

Even if this commit only reveal this issue, it would be helpful to get some guidance here. My expectation would be that a health check works reliable.

Thanks
