Hi list, I recently tested the hwrng driver. In principal, it works, but it sometimes eats up all host CPU time. In particular, I can see that the UML system does a (blocking) read on /dev/hwrng, and that the host system loops while reading from /dev/random which almost always returns -EAGAIN. (Found that out with strace, in the hope the output is correct.)
Nevertheless rngd seems to work, because when killing with SIGUSR1 it shows some reasonable statistics. My test setup is as follows: - Host system: 2.6.12.6 with SKAS3 v8.2 patch - UML system: 2.6.14-rc5, in SKAS3 mode. Using rngd from Debian Sarge. TLS is disabled. Let me know if you need more information.
