[Bug 285408] linux: jid 1 pid 88998 (server): sysctl {1,40,6} is not implemented

--- Comment #6 from Jason Mader <[email protected]> ---
Found that the message may come from libressl crypto/compat/getentropy_linux.c

#ifdef SYS__sysctl
        /*
         * Try to use sysctl CTL_KERN, KERN_RANDOM, RANDOM_UUID.
         * sysctl is a failsafe API, so it guarantees a result.  This
         * should work inside a chroot, or when file descriptors are
         * exhausted.
         *
         * However this can fail if the Linux kernel removes support
         * for sysctl.  Starting in 2007, there have been efforts to
         * deprecate the sysctl API/ABI, and push callers towards use
         * of the chroot-unavailable fd-using /proc mechanism --
         * essentially the same problems as /dev/urandom.
         *
         * Numerous setbacks have been encountered in their deprecation
         * schedule, so as of June 2014 the kernel ABI still exists on
         * most Linux architectures. The sysctl() stub in libc is missing
         * on some systems.  There are also reports that some kernels
         * spew messages to the console.
