10 | Check: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM | ||
11 | When: July 2009 | ||
12 | |||
13 | Why: Many of IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy | ||
14 | sources in the kernel's current entropy model. To resolve this, every | ||
15 | input point to the kernel's entropy pool needs to better document the | ||
16 | type of entropy source it actually is. This will be replaced with | ||
17 | additional add_*_randomness functions in drivers/char/random.c | ||

457 | superseded by the newer machine check code from the 64bit port, | ||
458 | but the old version has been kept around for easier testing. Note this | ||
