[OneRNG-Discuss] Summary of recent Linux kernel RNG changes.

[bsr]

Hi,

I thought some people on this list may be interested in reading about 
more recent changes to the Linux kernel RNG.  New changes coming to 
kernels 5.17 & 5.18 are too numerous to list here so I'll link to the 
excellent summary provided by Jason Donenfeld (current random.c maintainer).

Working within the confines of the current structure of the kernel rng, 
I think most of the changes make sense.  Donenfeld has uncovered several 
kernel rng flaws and weaknesses and is addressing those issues.  It's 
quite a bit to digest.
