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.
