[PATCH 4.4 030/149] random32: remove net_rand_state from the latent entropy gcc plugin

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 83bdc7275e6206f560d247be856bceba3e1ed8f2 upstream.

It turns out that the plugin right now ends up being really unhappy
about the change from 'static' to 'extern' storage that happened in
commit f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt
and activity").

This is probably a trivial fix for the latent_entropy plugin, but for
now, just remove net_rand_state from the list of things the plugin
worries about.
