machine/qemu*: fix kernel finish crng init more and more slowly
Just adding `-device virtio-rng-pci' to the QEMU invocation will add the device with a default host backend. As of QEMU 1.3+, the default backend is to use the host's /dev/random as a source of entropy. [1] When the entropy pool is empty, reads from /dev/random will block until additional environmental noise is gathered. [2] For Yocto, if call runqemu frequently, it will consume lots of host's /dev/random, and kernel finish crng init in guest get more and more slowly. Here are 4 times runqemu boot test: [ 3.464432] random: crng init done [ 20.874030] random: crng init done [ 23.583589] random: crng init done [ 23.858945] random: crng init done Modify entropy source to /dev/urandom device on the host which returns random bytes using a pseudorandom number generator seeded from the entropy pool. Reads from this device do not block and kernel finish crng init in guest will not delay. Of course, the side effect is obviously, we lost the quality of randomness, but the modification is only on runqemu script rather than real embedded device, and it benefits oeqa efficiency in which many cases call runqemu especially multiple oeqa builds on one host. After apply the fix: [ 3.364670] random: crng init done [ 4.619061] random: crng init done [ 3.403897] random: crng init done [ 3.450717] random: crng init done [1] https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/VirtIORNG [2] http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man4/random.4.html (From OE-Core rev: 853644f82eb3205ef3efc1ea3959c7225dfacf61) Signed-off-by: Hongxu Jia <hongxu.jia@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
