This is not the first RNG bug on Zen 2, I recall after I first got mine that some application or other would quit immediately at startup because rdrand always returned -1, i.e. all 1s. It was fixed with a microcode update.
Do we now learn that they fixed "always generate all 1s" with "never generate all 0s"??
EDIT: I've been unable to reproduce the problem on my CPU, FWIW. It's a Ryzen 5 3600.
EDIT2: OK, update, I can reproduce it with rdrand16, rdrand32 is fine but rdrand16 can never generate all 0s. So my CPU does have this problem!
Does rdrand32 and then taking the lowest 16 bits of its result yield any zeroes?
Basically I'm wondering if it's a bug in the version of the instruction that writes to a 16-bit reg, or a bug in the underlying RNG
