From 48446f198f9adcb499b30332488dfd5bc3f176f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2019 00:20:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] random: ignore GRND_RANDOM in getentropy(2) The separate blocking pool is going away. Start by ignoring GRND_RANDOM in getentropy(2). This should not materially break any API. Any code that worked without this change should work at least as well with this change.
