    random: do not ignore early device randomness · ee7998c5
    Kees Cook authored
    The add_device_randomness() function would ignore incoming bytes if the
    crng wasn't ready.  This additionally makes sure to make an early enough
    call to add_latent_entropy() to influence the initial stack canary,
    which is especially important on non-x86 systems where it stays the same
    through the life of the boot.
