https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214885 Mingye Wang (arthur200126@xxxxxxxxx) changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |arthur200126@xxxxxxxxx --- Comment #1 from Mingye Wang (arthur200126@xxxxxxxxx) --- Ha, can confirm. Was putting my nose through these things starting with https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/linux-csprng/. Things to change: ## random.7 * We should remove the concept of a "blocking pool". * GRND_RANDOM is no longer a thing. Remove the two rows. filippo also questions the wisdom of recommending people to roll their own PRNG, now that the ChaCha stuff is much faster. I don't know. filippo reports that 5.4 (commit https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/50ee7529ec4500c88f8664560770a7a1b65db72b) has some magic to get entropy from jitter. We should document this behavior so people know blocking will not be that bad. ## random.4 Yep, that's gonna be painful. I recommend adding a sub section for "pre-5.6 behavior". ## getrandom.2 Removal of GRND_RANDOM shall be noted. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
