This commit is meant to be rebase-fixup'd into the one entitled: "random: warn when kernel uses unseeded randomness" if you so desire. I originally had planned to do things this way -- have it default on for all users, not just debug users. But when I saw all the log spam, I decided maybe it should, much to my dismay, be a debug-only feature. However, you very nicely solved the log spam issue by preventing same-source consecutive warnings, which makes the situation much more manageable. Thus, in order to tease out the weird obscure cases of unseeded randomness on unlikely platforms, this commit turns it on everywhere. It's fairly non-invasive now, and it will help us get some visibility into the issue that we otherwise wouldn't have. Signed-off-by: Jason A.
