There's a discussion going around the internet about Intel possibly backdooring Linux with RdRand.

"Two years ago Linus overrode a decision by the maintainer of /dev/random and made a decision to include a patch by Intel which would make Linux rely blindly on output from RdRand (an implementation sealed in a chip and impossible to audit)"

Whether it is true or not, I was wondering if Linux-libre is using RdRand?
