В некоторых процессорах AMD Zen 5 генератор случайных чисел RDSEED выдаёт 0 в 10% случаев

Инженер из компании Meta в списке рассылки разработчиков ядра Linux обратил внимание на проблему с работой инструкции RDSEED в процессорах AMD на базе микроархитектуры Zen 5. В проведённых тестах инструкция RDSEED, предоставляющая доступ к аппаратному генератору энтропии, в 10% случаев возвращала значение 0 с успешным флагом завершения операции (CF=1). Так как значение 0 также возвращается в случае невозможности вернуть корректное случайное число и подобное состояние выделяется иным значением флага завершения операции (CF=0), предполагается, что в процессорах AMD имеется ошибка, приводящая к неверному определению состояния операции.

Dracut in Ubuntu: What it is & Why it Matters (or Doesn’t)

Ubuntu 25.10 uses Dracut for booting — not that you’d notice. But as this foundational switch is a headline mention in release reviews and recaps (including ones on this site), you might be curious about what it means for you. Name: Dracut. Age: 15 years old, but new(ish) to Ubuntu. Appearance: Invisible (it’s a boot-tech thing, not a shiny bauble). Will it affect me? Ubuntu 25.10 uses Dracut on new installs.
