[PATCH 2/2] Drivers: hv: Move add_interrupt_randomness() to hypervisor callback sysvec
From: Michael Kelley

From: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@xxxxxxxxxxx>
The Hyper-V ISRs, for normal guests and when running in the
hypervisor root patition, are calling add_interrupt_randomness() as a
primary source of entropy. The call is currently in the ISRs as a common
place to handle both x86/x64 and arm64. On x86/x64, hypervisor interrupts
come through a custom sysvec entry, and do not go through a generic
interrupt handler. On arm64, hypervisor interrupts come through an
emulated GICv3. GICv3 uses the generic handler handle_percpu_devid_irq(),
which does not do add_interrupt_randomness() -- unlike its counterpart
handle_percpu_irq(). But handle_percpu_devid_irq() is now updated to do
the add_interrupt_randomness(). So add_interrupt_randomness() is now
needed only in Hyper-V's x86/x64 custom sysvec path.
Move add_interrupt_randomness() from the Hyper-V ISRs into the Hyper-V
x86/x64 custom sysvec path, matching the existing STIMER0 sysvec path.
With this change, add_interrupt_randomness() is no longer called from any
device drivers, which is appropriate.
