This enables an important dmesg notification about when drivers have used the crng without it being seeded first. Prior, these errors would occur silently, and so there hasn't been a great way of diagnosing these types of bugs for obscure setups. By adding this as a config option, we can leave it on by default, so that we learn where these issues happen, in the field, will still allowing some people to turn it off, if they really know what they're doing and do not want the log entries. However, we don't leave it _completely_ by default. An earlier version of this patch simply had `default y`. I'd really love that, but it turns out, this problem with unseeded randomness being used is really quite present and is going to take a long time to fix. Thus, as a compromise between log-messages-for-all and nobody-knows, this is `default y`, except it is also `depends on DEBUG_KERNEL`. This will ensure that the curious see the messages while others don't have to. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
