64 	 * Linux compatibility: We have two choices for handling Linux's
65 	 * GRND_INSECURE.
66 	 *
67 	 * 1. We could ignore it completely (like GRND_RANDOM).  However, this
68 	 * might produce the surprising result of GRND_INSECURE requests
69 	 * blocking, when the Linux API does not block.
70 	 *
71 	 * 2. Alternatively, we could treat GRND_INSECURE requests as requests
72 	 * for GRND_NONBLOCK.  Here, the surprising result for Linux programs
73 	 * is that invocations with unseeded random(4) will produce EAGAIN,
74 	 * rather than garbage.
75 	 *
76 	 * Honoring the flag in the way Linux does seems fraught.  If we
77 	 * actually use the output of a random(4) implementation prior to
78 	 * seeding, we leak some entropy about the initial seed to attackers.
79 	 * This seems unacceptable -- it defeats the purpose of blocking on
80 	 * initial seeding.
81 	 *
82 	 * Secondary to that concern, before seeding we may have arbitrarily
83 	 * little entropy collected; producing output from zero or a handful of
84 	 * entropy bits does not seem particularly useful to userspace.
85 	 *
86 	 * If userspace can accept garbage, insecure non-random bytes, they can
87 	 * create their own insecure garbage with srandom(time(NULL)) or
88 	 * similar.  Asking the kernel to produce it from the secure
89 	 * getrandom(2) API seems inane.
90 	 *
91 	 * We elect to emulate GRND_INSECURE as an alternative spelling of
92 	 * GRND_NONBLOCK (2).
