From 6133705494bb02953e1e2cc3018a4373981b3c97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Kossifidis Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2012 22:18:11 -0500 Subject: 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.
