The branch stable/13 has been updated by kevans: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=40f9f2279c0fd6f9e1829f786eea3d49e45c9f32 commit 40f9f2279c0fd6f9e1829f786eea3d49e45c9f32 Author: Kyle Evans <kevans@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2021-09-20 04:59:09 +0000 Commit: Kyle Evans <kevans@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2021-10-06 06:41:18 +0000 kern: random: drop read_rate and associated functionality Refer to discussion in PR 230808 for a less incomplete discussion, but the gist of this change is that we currently collect orders of magnitude more entropy than we need. The excess comes from bytes being read out of /dev/*random. The default rate at which we collect entropy without the read_rate increase is already more than we need to recover from a compromise of an internal state. For stable/13, the read_rate_increment symbol remains as a stub to avoid breaking loadable random modules.
