https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D222807 --- Comment #6 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> --- So hc_source_mask is initialized to RANDOM_HARVEST_EVERYTHING_MASK. Is expanding RANDOM_HARVEST_EVERYTHING_MASK to cover the Pure devices sufficient to harvest from RDRAND and Via? Or would that break anything (e= .g., due to the devices that did not register)? Yes, the rest of the 1st patch is a nice enhancement to expose those bits to userspace that were not exposed before. I'm just not clear on if the bits = must only be set on registration, or if it's ok to just have them all set from t= he beginning. Thanks! Would you mind throwing the patches up on Phabricator so comments can be mo= re clearly associated with specific lines of code? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
