Entropy Pool and getrandom - X86 FS Simulation

AS

Hello,

I am trying to run Cassandra benchmark from the Dacapo benchmark suite. I
am using gem5 v23.0.1 and the simulation is full system X86 ISA.

During the initialization phase of the Cassandra benchmark during the
simulation on gem5, I encountered this error:

<unknown>: getrandom indicates that the entropy pool has not been
initialized. Rather than continue with poor entropy, this process will
block until entropy is available.

So, I would like to inquire if the entropy pool is supported in gem5 by
default or if there is something I need to do/implement. I am basically
restoring the checkpoint using AtomicSimpleCPU after booting to run the
initialize the workload (i.e., Cassandra) but it gave me this error (or
warning, not sure).

So, would you please help me with that?

Thanks,
~Abdelrahman
