Subject: [PATCH next 6/7] random32: prandom_seed_state() use all 64 bits of the seed
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 20:05:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102200522.3337-7-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102200522.3337-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
Use the high 32bits to initialise s3 and s4 rather than reducing
the value to 32 bits.
Simplify the avoidance of values near zero by just setting a bit.
Keep the '<< 10' so that bits 0 and 32-35 get used.
