From: Corentin Labbe Subject: [PATCH] nvmem: sunxi-sid: SID content is not a valid source of randomness Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2016 15:53:28 +0200 Message-ID: <1477144408-15896-1-git-send-email-clabbe.montjoie@gmail.com> Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org, Corentin Labbe To: srinivas.kandagatla@linaro.org, maxime.ripard@free-electrons.com, wens@csie.org Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-crypto.vger.kernel.org Since SID's content is constant over reboot, it must not be used as source of randomness. This patch remove the use of SID content as source of randomness.
