    x86, random: Verify RDRAND functionality and allow it to be disabled · 49d859d7
    H. Peter Anvin 提交于
    If the CPU declares that RDRAND is available, go through a guranteed
    reseed sequence, and make sure that it is actually working (producing
    data.)   If it does not, disable the CPU feature flag.
    
    Allow RDRAND to be disabled on the command line (as opposed to at
    compile time) for a user who has special requirements with regards to
    random numbers.
