[PATCH v3 19/36] random: vDSO: only access vDSO datapage after random_init()

From: Thomas Weißschuh <hidden>
Date: 2025-09-17 14:02:08
Also in: linux-kselftest, linux-mips, linux-s390, linuxppc-dev, lkml, loongarch, sparclinux
Subsystem: random number driver, the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Jason A. Donenfeld, Linus Torvalds

Upcoming changes to the generic vDSO library will mean that the vDSO
datapage will not yet be usable during early boot.

Introduce a static key which prevents early accesses.
