From eaf63d314d50cba5b2cfa8f18de64a91d3131b94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ondrej Zajicek (work)" Date: Thu, 3 May 2018 17:07:39 +0200 Subject: Better initialization of random generator Use full time precision to initialize random generator. The old code was prone to initialize it to the same values in specific circumstances (boot without RTC, multiple VMs starting at once). --- sysdep/unix/io.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'sysdep/unix/io.c') diff --git a/sysdep/unix/io.c b/sysdep/unix/io.c index 012deaf0..11a0d6f1 100644 --- a/sysdep/unix/io.c +++ b/sysdep/unix/io.c @@ -2144,7 +2144,9 @@ io_init(void) // XXX init_times(); // XXX update_times(); boot_time = current_time(); - srandom((uint) (current_real_time() TO_S)); + + u64 now = (u64) current_real_time(); + srandom((uint) (now ^ (now >> 32))); } static int short_loops = 0; -- cgit v1.2.3
