Pull gcc plugins update from Kees Cook:
"This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot
time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in
CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences,
SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example
for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals"
* tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy
gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin
The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.
These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

The IRQ_POLL_F_SCHED bit is set as long as polling is ongoing.
This means that irq_poll_sched() must proceed if this bit has
not yet been set.
Fixes: commit ea51190c03 ("irq_poll: fold irq_poll_sched_prep into irq_poll_sched").

There is no good reason to keep them apart, and this makes using the API
a bit simpler.

There is no good reason to start out disabled - drivers can control if
the poll instance can be scheduled by simply not scheduling it yet.

The new name is irq_poll as iopoll is already taken. Better suggestions
welcome.
