When the system boots with random.trust_cpu=1 it doesn't initialize the per-NUMA CRNGs because it skips the rest of the CRNG startup code. This means that the code from1e7f583af6("random: make /dev/urandom scalable for silly userspace programs") is not used when random.trust_cpu=1. crash> dmesg | grep random: [ 0.000000] random: get_random_bytes called from start_kernel+0x94/0x530 with crng_init=0 [ 0.314029] random: crng done (trusting CPU's manufacturer) crash> print crng_node_pool $6 = (struct crng_state **) 0x0 After adding the missing call to numa_crng_init() the per-NUMA CRNGs are initialized again: crash> dmesg | grep random: [ 0.000000] random: get_random_bytes called from start_kernel+0x94/0x530 with crng_init=0 [ 0.314031] random: crng done (trusting CPU's manufacturer) crash> print crng_node_pool $1 = (struct crng_state **) 0xffff9a915f4014a0 The call to invalidate_batched_entropy() was also missing. This is important for architectures like PPC and S390 which only have the arch_get_random_seed_* functions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
