Line-accurate confirmation (boot-window bug; window currently empty of RNG consumers, so no runtime demo is possible without re-ordering SYSINITs): sys/platform/pc64/x86_64/machdep.c:2777 rand_initialize() (early, ncpus==1 -> csprng_pcpu = &csprng_boot, ONE struct) sys/kern/kern_nrandom.c:562 SYSINIT(rand1, SI_BOOT2_POST_SMP, SI_ORDER_SECOND, rand_initialize) (real array only here) sys/kern/kern_nrandom.c:697 state = &csprng_pcpu[mycpu->gd_cpuid] (unclamped) sys/kern/kern_nrandom.c:659 same in add_buffer_randomness_src PCPU branch Between SI_BOOT2_START_APS (0x1a60000) and SI_BOOT2_POST_SMP (0x1cc0000), ncpus>1 while csprng_pcpu aliases the single-element csprng_boot: any early RNG consumer on cpu>1 addresses .bss past csprng_boot and spin_locks/mutates it (silent corruption). Every current call site's SYSINIT ordering was checked in pass 2; the fix gates the indexing.
