--- Comment #6 from Jason Mader <jasonma...@gmail.com> ---
Found that the message may come from libressl crypto/compat/getentropy_linux.c
#ifdef SYS__sysctl
/*
* Try to use sysctl CTL_KERN, KERN_RANDOM, RANDOM_UUID.
* sysctl is a failsafe API, so it guarantees a result. This
* should work inside a chroot, or when file descriptors are
* exhausted.
*
* However this can fail if the Linux kernel removes support
* for sysctl. Starting in 2007, there have been efforts to
* deprecate the sysctl API/ABI, and push callers towards use
* of the chroot-unavailable fd-using /proc mechanism --
* essentially the same problems as /dev/urandom.
*
* Numerous setbacks have been encountered in their deprecation
* schedule, so as of June 2014 the kernel ABI still exists on
* most Linux architectures. The sysctl() stub in libc is missing
* on some systems. There are also reports that some kernels
* spew messages to the console.
