[OE-core] [PATCH] rng-tools: disable libjitterentropy due to cpu usage

2022-05-02 Thread Wes Malone
After boot rngd maxes out the processor initializing JITTER entropy for some minutes. Here we disable libjitterentropy in favor of only using the hardware random source via config. Signed-off-by: Wes Malone --- meta/recipes-support/rng-tools/rng-tools_6.15.bb | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion

[OE-core] [PATCH] rng-tools: disable libjitterentropy due to cpu usage

2022-05-02 Thread Wes Malone
Since updating to kirkstone from hardknott, after boot rngd maxes out my rpi4's processor for minutes initializing JITTER. The sustained CPU usage was triggering my resource monitoring alerts. Changing config to disable jitter with -x jitter stops the initialization process and uses just the pi's h
