From 39e0f991a62ed5efabd20711a7b6e7da92603170 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Jason@zx2c4.com Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2022 17:00:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] random: mark bootloader randomness code as __init
add_bootloader_randomness() and the variables it touches are only used during __init and not after, so mark these as __init. At the same time, unexport this, since it's only called by other __init code that's built-in.
