From: James Clark <james.cl...@arm.com> Running 'perf test' with zstd compression linked will hang at the test 'Zstd perf.data compression/decompression' because /dev/random blocks reads until there is enough entropy. This means that the test will appear to never complete unless the mouse is continually moved while running it.
