This is problematic because it creates non determinism in the syscall path when the rng needs to be generated or reseeded. This shows up as large tail latencies in some benchmarks and directly affects the minimum RT latencies as seen by cyclictest. Other architectures are using timers/cycle counters for this function, which is sketchy from a randomization perspective because it should be possible to estimate this value from knowledge of the syscall return time, and from reading the current value of the timer/counters. So, a poor rng should be better than the cycle counter if it is hard to extract the stack offsets sufficiently to be able to detect the PRNG's period. So, we can potentially choose a 'better' or larger PRNG, going as far as using one of the CSPRNGs already in the kernel, but the overhead increases appropriately. Further, there are a few options for reseeding, possibly out of the syscall path, but is it even useful in this case?
