- * Sysctl interface
+ * Sysctl interface.
+ *
+ * These are partly unused legacy knobs with dummy values to not break
+ * userspace and partly still useful things. They are usually accessible
+ * in /proc/sys/kernel/random/ and are as follows:
+ *
+ * - boot_id - a UUID representing the current boot.
+ *
+ * - uuid - a random UUID, different each time the file is read.
+ *
+ * - poolsize - the number of bits of entropy that the input pool can
+ *   hold, tied to the POOL_BITS constant.
+ *
+ * - entropy_avail - the number of bits of entropy currently in the
+ *   input pool. Always <= poolsize.
+ *
+ * - write_wakeup_threshold - the amount of entropy in the input pool
+ *   below which write polls to /dev/random will unblock, requesting
+ *   more entropy, tied to the POOL_MIN_BITS constant. It is writable
+ *   to avoid breaking old userspaces, but writing to it does not
+ *   change any behavior of the RNG.
+ *
+ * - urandom_min_reseed_secs - fixed to the meaningless value "60".
+ *   It is writable to avoid breaking old userspaces, but writing
+ *   to it does not change any behavior of the RNG.
