    crypto: jitter - set default OSR to 3 · 95a798d2
    Stephan Mueller authored
    The user space Jitter RNG library uses the oversampling rate of 3 which
    implies that each time stamp is credited with 1/3 bit of entropy. To
    obtain 256 bits of entropy, 768 time stamps need to be sampled. The
    increase in OSR is applied based on a report where the Jitter RNG is
    used on a system exhibiting a challenging environment to collect
    entropy.
    
    This OSR default value is now applied to the Linux kernel version of
    the Jitter RNG as well.
    
    The increase in the OSR from 1 to 3 also implies that the Jitter RNG is
    now slower by default.
