Comment on Linux RNG RFC Patch: implement getrandom() in vDSOparentComments−quesomaster90004yHow often do you reseed?How frequently does the kernel populate these pages with new entropy (for every process, pre-emptively?)Does this avoid pagefaults or other process interrupts? Don't want process interrupting every time it accesses the 'magic page of random'.Surely these are all pain points that Intel's `RDRAND` is supposed to alleviate.

How often do you reseed?
How frequently does the kernel populate these pages with new entropy (for every process, pre-emptively?)
Does this avoid pagefaults or other process interrupts? Don't want process interrupting every time it accesses the 'magic page of random'.
