[PATCH 4.9 142/264] random: do not take pool spinlock at boot
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Jun 23 2022 - 12:52:46 EST
From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>
commit afba0b80b977b2a8f16234f2acd982f82710ba33 upstream.
Since rand_initialize() is run while interrupts are still off and
nothing else is running, we don't need to repeatedly take and release
the pool spinlock, especially in the RDSEED loop.
