Subject: [kernel-hardening] [PATCH] latent_entropy: provide userspace visibility
Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2016 11:03:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160618180320.GA862@www.outflux.net> (raw)

This is just a toy to look at the latent_entropy value as it changes
from userspace. Not intended for actual use...
