That shouldn't be possible, given the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE)
guard around the efi_get_random_bytes() call, so something sounds wrong.

Are you certain that you're running the same kernel Image that you
rebuilt?

Ard, do you reckon it would be worth adding the UTS_RELEASE and
UTS_VERSION to the " Booting Linux Kernel..." string? It would make
debugging that potential issue easier.

Maybe there's a problem with stale objects. If you're not doing so
already, could you try a clean build with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE
deselected?

Thanks,
Mark.
