| schestowitz | It's worth noting that the maintainer of record (me) for the Linux RNG quit the project about two years ago precisely because Linus decided to include a patch from Intel to allow their unauditable RdRand to bypass the entropy pool over my strenuous objections. | Jul 18 04:26 |
| schestowitz | From a quick skim of current sources, much of that has recently been rolled back (/dev/random, notably) but kernel-internal entropy users like sequence numbers and address-space randomization appear to still be exposed to raw RdRand output. | Jul 18 04:26 |

| schestowitz | I don't pay attention to the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), but I've been around long enough to know that Linus does lose his temper. | Jul 18 05:46 |
| schestowitz | So do I. | Jul 18 05:46 |
| schestowitz | Sometimes anger is a good thing--a necessary defense mechanism. It's your mind's way of telling you that something is really wrong and you need to not accept what is being put forth. | Jul 18 05:46 |
| schestowitz | But then there is, for example, what my father did to my mother--which was continuous verbal abuse. (Somehow, after 16 years, she mustered up enough sense to tell him to get the fuck out.) I don't know where the line is on LKML or if Linus has crossed it, but we should also remember that just because something is wrong doesn't mean you'll be able to articulate just what is wrong at that particular moment. | Jul 18 05:46 |

| schestowitz | The problem here is really the same as it has always been: hardware manufacturers will not go out of their way to accommodate Linux.
