util: fall back to reading /dev/urandom when getrandom() blocks
|
||||
|
||||
With recent changes in the Linux kernel, the getrandom() system call may
|
||||
block for a long time after boot on machines that don't have enough
|
||||
entropy. It blocks the chronyd's initialization before it can detach
|
||||
from the terminal and may cause a chronyd service to fail to start due
|
||||
to a timeout.
|
||||
|
||||
At least for now, enable the GRND_NONBLOCK flag to make the system call
|
||||
non-blocking and let the code fall back to reading /dev/urandom (which
|
||||
never blocks) if the system call failed with EAGAIN or any other error.
|
||||
|
||||
This makes the start of chronyd non-deterministic with respect to files
|
||||
that it needs to open and possibly also makes it slightly easier to
|
||||
guess the transmit/receive timestamp in client requests until the
|
||||
urandom source is fully initialized.
