urandom 是通过设备驱动程序提供的,内核对驱动程序所做的第一件事就是调用init 调用。
如果你看这里:http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/char/random.c#L1401
* Note that setup_arch() may call add_device_randomness()
* long before we get here. This allows seeding of the pools
* with some platform dependent data very early in the boot
* process. But it limits our options here. We must use
* statically allocated structures that already have all
* initializations complete at compile time. We should also
* take care not to overwrite the precious per platform data
* we were given.
*/
static int rand_initialize(void)
{
init_std_data(&input_pool);
init_std_data(&blocking_pool);
init_std_data(&nonblocking_pool);
return 0;
}
early_initcall(rand_initialize);
因此,此驱动程序的init 函数是rand_initialize。但是请注意,评论说setup_arch 可能会在此设备初始化之前调用add_device randomness()。但是,调用该函数不会添加任何实际熵(它会向池提供 MAC 地址等内容,因此如果您有两个完全相同的 VM,那么您就可以了)。来自评论:
* add_device_randomness() is for adding data to the random pool that
* is likely to differ between two devices (or possibly even per boot).
* This would be things like MAC addresses or serial numbers, or the
* read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual entropy to the
* pool, but it initializes the pool to different values for devices
* that might otherwise be identical and have very little entropy
* available to them (particularly common in the embedded world).
另外,请注意,熵池在关机时存储并在启动时通过初始化脚本恢复(在我的 Ubuntu 14.04 上,它位于 /etc/init.d/urandom 中),因此您可能希望在之前从该脚本调用您的脚本
53 (
54 date +%s.%N
55
56 # Load and then save $POOLBYTES bytes,
57 # which is the size of the entropy pool
58 if [ -f "$SAVEDFILE" ]
59 then
60 cat "$SAVEDFILE"
61 fi
62 # Redirect output of subshell (not individual commands)
63 # to cope with a misfeature in the FreeBSD (not Linux)
64 # /dev/random, where every superuser write/close causes
65 # an explicit reseed of the yarrow.
66 ) >/dev/urandom
或类似的调用。
