Subject: [PATCH 4.14 19/51] random32: remove net_rand_state from the latent entropy gcc plugin
Date: Mon,  3 Aug 2020 14:20:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200803121850.423049686@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200803121849.488233135@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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.
