Correct.

A datum: booting with 'nordrand' on the kernel command line does not affect
this, the test program still prints 4294967295. (Yet '/proc/cpuinfo' no longer
mentions rdrand or rdseed in flags. Stdlib must be

We could use a different function for AMD, rather than __x86_rdrand. If it
reads a -1 value it could try again a few more times, and if it gets -1 every
time assume it's broken (and throw?), maybe after b

Maybe we should go back to only using RDRAND for Intel :-(

--- Comment #9 from Richard Biener ---
Note that if you read the errata you figure that the broken RDRAND behavior can
occur after a suspend/resume cycle only which means that detecting this in
the RDRAND detection logic is too "early" if you ar

Fwiw, my kernel is fairly up-to-date (

So at least libstdc++ does check RDRAND availability via cpuid. It also
already
checks the return value for "no avaialble randomness":

Not sure. I wondered if it might be, so I straced the process and it di

Isn't this worked around at kernel level by disabling RDRAND support on
affected CPUs?
