svn commit: r278907 - head/sys/dev/random

New Revision: 278907
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/278907

Log:
  When the new random adaptor code was brought it in r273872, a call to
  randomdev_init_reader to change read_random over to the newly installed
  adaptor was missed.  This means both read_random and arc4random (seeded
  from read_random) were not returning very random data.  This also
  effects userland arc4random as it is seeded from kernel arc4random.
  
  The random devices are uneffected and have returned good randomness
  since the change.
  
  All keys generated with a kernel of r273872 must be regenerated with
  a kernel with this patch.  Keys generated may be predictable.
  
  Remove the warning as log is too early to print anything, and it would
  always get printed due to early use of arc4random...
