I bet that this make menuconfig section in 6.12 LTS is obsolete...
...or it will be obsolete soon. LOL

.config - Linux/x86 6.12.71 Kernel Configuration
→ Kernel hacking
Warn for all uses of unseeded randomness
CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM:

Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
it.

Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting a fully
seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can result in dmesg
getting spammed for a surprisingly long time. This is really bad from
a security perspective, and so architecture maintainers really need to
do what they can to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is
booted. However, since users cannot do anything actionable to address
this, by default this option is disabled.

Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of unseeded
randomness. This will be of use primarily for those developers
interested in improving the security of Linux kernels running on their
architecture (or sub architecture).

Cheers, R-
