From 595b893e2087de306d0781795fb8ec47873596a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Tue, 3 May 2022 13:55:00 -0700 Subject: randstruct: Reorganize Kconfigs and attribute macros In preparation for Clang supporting randstruct, reorganize the Kconfigs, move the attribute macros, and generalize the feature to be named CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT for on/off, CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL for the full randomization mode, and CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE for the cache-line sized mode.
