Subject[PATCH 4.14 19/51] random32: remove net_rand_state from the latent entropy gcc plugin
Date
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.
