Bug Description
SRU Justification
[Impact]
GKE made an inquiry about the source of entropy for /dev/hwrng. Their public documentation (https:/
[Fix]
Configure CONFIG_
[Test Plan]
Executing
$ cat /sys/devices/
Should return "virtio_rng.0"
[Regression potential]
There should be a very low chance of regression. Hardware RNG entropy sources in theory are identical in behavior, and the test plan above can determine what the active source of entropy is.
