Kernel 3.18.55 compilation fails (missing function declaration)

Hi, kernel 3.18.55 compilation fails with this error:
kernel/fork.c: In function âdup_task_structâ:
kernel/fork.c:341:2: error: implicit declaration of function
âget_random_longâ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
tsk->stack_canary = get_random_long();
Corrected by adding the declaration to include/linux/random.h line 26 :
unsigned long get_random_long(void);
Sorry, I really can't understand how to generate a patch from a tagged
release, my git-fu is far too low...
