GCC plugins are loadable modules that provide extra features to the
|
|
compiler. They are useful for runtime instrumentation and static analysis.

bool "Generate some entropy during boot and runtime"
|
|
help
|
|
By saying Y here the kernel will instrument some kernel code to
|
|
extract some entropy from both original and artificially created
|
|
program state. This will help especially embedded systems where
|
|
there is little 'natural' source of entropy normally. The cost
|
|
is some slowdown of the boot process (about 0.5%) and fork and
|
|
irq processing.
|
|
|
|
Note that entropy extracted this way is not cryptographically
|
|
secure!
