Title:
  hwrng drivers missing in initrd.img

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Jammy:
  New

Bug description:
  The initialization of the entropy buffer of the urandom device is
  critical for security.

  When booting Jammy 22.04.1 on QEMU riscv64 I see the following
  warnings:

  [   14.654546] random: lvm: uninitialized urandom read (4 bytes read)
  [   15.247995] random: lvm: uninitialized urandom read (2 bytes read)
  [   22.484719] random: lvm: uninitialized urandom read (4 bytes read)
  [   43.161846] random: lvmconfig: uninitialized urandom read (4 bytes read)
  [   48.862281] random: lvm: uninitialized urandom read (4 bytes read)

  Module virtio-rng.ko is missing in initrd.img.
  Adding virtio_rng to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules avoids the warnings.

  Hardware RNG drivers should generally be included in the initrd to
  provide early entropy.

  Best regards

  Heinrich
