[PATCH 3.8 02/81] random: run random_int_secret_init() run after all late_initcalls

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Oct 29 2013 - 14:26:55 EST


3.8.13.12 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit 47d06e532e95b71c0db3839ebdef3fe8812fca2c upstream.

The some platforms (e.g., ARM) initializes their clocks as
late_initcalls for some unknown reason. So make sure
random_int_secret_init() is run after all of the late_initcalls are
run.
