From b9b01a5625b5a9e9d96d14d4a813a54e8a124f4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2022 13:03:55 +0100 Subject: random: use random.trust_{bootloader,cpu} command line option only It's very unusual to have both a command line option and a compile time option, and apparently that's confusing to people. Also, basically everybody enables the compile time option now, which means people who want to disable this wind up having to use the command line option to ensure that anyway. So just reduce the number of moving pieces and nix the compile time option in favor of the more versatile command line option. Signed-off-by: Jason A.
