Subject[PATCH] gcc-plugins: latent_entropy: use /dev/urandom
Date
While the latent entropy plugin mostly doesn't derive entropy from
get_random_const() for measuring the call graph, when __latent_entropy is
applied to a constant, then it's initialized statically to output from
get_random_const(). In that case, this data is derived from a 64-bit
seed, which means a buffer of 512 bits doesn't really have that amount
of compile-time entropy.

This patch fixes that shortcoming by just buffering chunks of
/dev/urandom output and doling it out as requested.

Fixes: 38addce8b600 ("gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

I'm not super familiar with this plugin or its conventions, so pointers
would be most welcome if something here looks amiss. The decision to
buffer 2k at a time is pretty arbitrary too; I haven't measured usage.
