Subject: [PATCH] randstruct: Fix gcc-plugin performance mode to stay in group
Date: Sun,  8 Oct 2023 10:05:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231008170552.work.766-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

The performance mode of the gcc-plugin randstruct was shuffling struct
members outside of the cache-line groups. Limit the range to the
specified group indexes.

Cc: linux-hardening@vger.kernel.org
Reported-by: Lukas Loidolt <e1634039@student.tuwien.ac.at>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/f3ca77f0-e414-4065-83a5-ae4c4d25545d@student.tuwien.ac.at
