Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] prandom: Add __always_inline version of prandom_u32_state()
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2026 13:01:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260119130122.1283821-3-ryan.roberts@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260119130122.1283821-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com>

We will shortly use prandom_u32_state() to implement kstack offset
randomization and some arches need to call it from non-instrumentable
context. So let's implement prandom_u32_state() as an out-of-line
wrapper around a new __always_inline prandom_u32_state_inline(). kstack
offset randomization will use this new version.
