Arnd Bergmann 0db47e3d32 ila_xlat: add missing hash secret initialization ... While discussing the possible merits of clang warning about unused initialized functions, I found one function that was clearly meant to be called but never actually is. __ila_hash_secret_init() initializes the hash value for the ila locator, apparently this is intended to prevent hash collision attacks, but this ends up being a read-only zero constant since there is no caller. I could find no indication of why it was never called, the earliest patch submission for the module already was like this. If my interpretation is right, we certainly want to backport the patch to stable kernels as well. I considered adding it to the ila_xlat_init callback, but for best effect the random data is read as late as possible, just before it is first used. The underlying net_get_random_once() is already highly optimized to avoid overhead when called frequently.
