But, if this fails, it means that the .data section is now garbage, right?. I guess failing here is less entertaining than trying to run the kernel with random garbage in .data, but it doesn't make it very far either way, right? Why bother with rdrand, though? Couldn't you just pick any old piece of .data and compare before and after? _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
