Merge tag 'random_for_linus_stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random
Pull randomness fixes from Ted Ts'o: "Improve performance by using a lockless update mechanism suggested by Linus, and make sure we refresh per-CPU entropy returned get_random_* as soon as the CRNG is initialized" * tag 'random_for_linus_stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random: random: invalidate batched entropy after crng init random: use lockless method of accessing and updating f->reg_idx
