I have that messages on an i386 6.1.2 Xen machine:
cprng cpu0-short: WARNING pseudorandom rekeying.
cprng 47814d1: WARNING pseudorandom rekeying.
cprng sysctl: WARNING pseudorandom rekeying.

What does it means? I just upgraded the kernel to 6.1.2 to regenerate
weak RSA keys generated on 6.0. The warning suggests pseudorandom
generator could be kinked. Is it safe to generate keys?
