Merge tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random
Pull /dev/random updates from Ted Ts'o:
"This adds a memzero_explicit() call which is guaranteed not to be
optimized away by GCC. This is important when we are wiping
cryptographically sensitive material"
* tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random:
crypto: memzero_explicit - make sure to clear out sensitive data
random: add and use memzero_explicit() for clearing data
