Mark, I tried to get to your paper > on yarrow, but apparently there is a web problem. If you have a new URL, > let me know. i noted about 2 weeks ago about incorrect kernel interface descriptions in random(4) in this maillist but got no response. once again, there's no function defined as void add_interrupt_randomness(int irq) as stated in the manpage. unfortunately i don't have enough time & kernel hacking experience to fix that for now. since the 1st stage of my current project finishes on october 20 i could try to hack it out later. there's a simpler way -- it is to change the manpage to define the correct function void add_interrupt_randomness(void *vsc) as defined in /sys/kern/kern_random.c it could be easy to change the function itself, but it's used pretty tricky way in the kernel sources (2 times only though: /sys/alpha/alpha/mem.c & /sys/i386/i386/mem.c). there's a function defined as inthand2_t add_interrupt_randomness; in /sys/sys/random.h as well.
