Revision aa9887608e77b835d51f05a54940380391cd4e21 authored by Anup Patel on 27 September 2020, 05:39:16 UTC, committed by Palmer Dabbelt on 30 September 2020, 18:05:14 UTC
The NoMMU kernel is broken for QEMU virt machine from Linux-5.9-rc6
because clint_time_val is used even before CLINT driver is probed
at following places:
1. rand_initialize() calls get_cycles() which in-turn uses
   clint_time_val
2. boot_init_stack_canary() calls get_cycles() which in-turn
   uses clint_time_val

The issue#1 (above) is fixed by providing custom random_get_entropy()
for RISC-V NoMMU kernel. For issue#2 (above), we remove dependency of
boot_init_stack_canary() on get_cycles() and this is aligned with the
boot_init_stack_canary() implementations of ARM, ARM64 and MIPS kernel.
