I guess I should have included a single unified diff rather than just a git format-patch set. From a CVS tree, the attached entropy-unified.patch can be applied with
cd /path/to/src && patch -p1 < /path/to/entropy-unified.patch (And from a git tree, you can apply the patch set in the original email with `git am < /path/to/entropy.git'.) Some background, from a cryptographer, on the historical system of entropy `estimation' and `depletion' which has been essentially unchanged in Linux and NetBSD since it was introduced in the 1990s, and which I'm proposing to change now to better reflect modern cryptography: https://research.nccgroup.com/2019/12/19/on-linuxs-random-number-generation/
