Hi,
A few months ago I submitted a patch [1] to make /dev/urandom block until
sufficient entropy is gathered; this is blocked by a kernel config
option CONFIG_SECURE_URANDOM=[yn].
If set, this will break systemd systems.
If set, this will probably break Kernel CI (afaik tests are run on
Debian which use systemd) - specifically when randconfig is used
and the config option is set to y.
There is no longer a 'CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL', to depend/block on, so
I cannot rely on that going forward.
I was hoping to work with the Kernel CI peeps to see if we can prepare
the Kernel CI system to support this config option.
Thanks,
Naveen

KernelCI doesn’t do randconfigs so it won’t be affected.
