Nearly all crypto and the address randomisation that is part of kernel
hardening depend on good random numbers, for Linux on the random(4)
driver. Getting it initialised early enough & well enough is an
extremely tricky problem. Several people have proposed solutions but
AFAIK none are complete and it might benefit from having fresh eyes
take a look, especially if you have a good background in crypto or
math.
Not all discussion is here; other relevant lists include
linux-crypto@...r.kernel.org and cryptography@...zdowd.com. People to
look for include the maintainer, tytso@....edu, the main person
working on the problem here, keescook@...omium.org, two guys who have
proposed drive rewrites that partly solve the problem, me and
smueller@...onox.de, and one with a lot of excellent comments,
jsd@...n.com.
