Linus Torvalds a26fb01c28 In reaction to the fixes to address CVE-2018-1108, some Linux
distributions that have certain systemd versions in some cases
 combined with patches to libcrypt for FIPS/FEDRAMP compliance, have
 led to boot-time stalls for some hardware.  The reaction by some
 distros and Linux sysadmins has been to install packages that try to
 do complicated things with the CPU and hope that leads to randomness.
 To mitigate this, if RDRAND is available, mix it into entropy provided
 by userspace.  It won't hurt. and it will probably help.
