--- Comment #10 from commit-h...@freebsd.org --- A commit references this bug: Author: cem Date: Fri Oct 6 18:27:56 UTC 2017 New revision: 324372 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/324372 Log: random(4): Discard low entropy inputs The later fields of the harvest_event structure are predictable and provide little value to the entropy pool. Only feed in the relatively high entropy counter and explicit entropy buffer to increase measured input entropy.
