#25120: getrandom() syscall failure warning should be a notice and worded better ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: catalyst | Owner: (none) Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.3.3.x-final Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ------------------------------+-------------------------------- The logging improvement for error handling of the `getrandom()` syscall in #24500 could be further improved:
* The log level should possibly be NOTICE rather than WARN. * The log message should mention that tor will fall back to alternative sources of randomness. * Maybe we want to mention header/kernel version mismatches as a specific common reason for this issue. Yes, some of the fallbacks are somewhat dangerous, like `/dev/urandom` might not be seeded yet. etc,. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25120> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
