From: Nick Kossifidis Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2012 03:18:11 +0000 (-0500) Subject: random: Mix cputime from each thread that exits to the pool X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6133705494bb;p=linux-beck.git random: Mix cputime from each thread that exits to the pool When a thread exits mix it's cputime (userspace + kernelspace) to the entropy pool. We don't know how "random" this is, so we use add_device_randomness that doesn't mess with entropy count.
