https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222807 --- Comment #7 from W. Dean Freeman <badfilemagic@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Conrad Meyer from comment #6) I shall have to learn to use Phabricator then. I'll figure it out as soon as possible. For RDRND and Via, if they don't register they'll never get called anyway. random_sources_feed won't call their associated functions and push into random_harvest_direct. But if the bit isn't set, then you're harvesting entropy and throwing it away. If you have a more elegant solution, I am open. A couple of us noodled on this and we are running it in various places in development and production at this point and it works. That doesn't mean it can't be better though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
