Jason A. Donenfeld 39800adc38 random: avoid reading two cache lines on irq randomness
commit 9ee0507e896b45af6d65408c77815800bce30008 upstream.

In order to avoid reading and dirtying two cache lines on every IRQ,
move the work_struct to the bottom of the fast_pool struct. add_
interrupt_randomness() always touches .pool and .count, which are
currently split, because .mix pushes everything down. Instead, move .mix
to the bottom, so that .pool and .count are always in the first cache
line, since .mix is only accessed when the pool is full.

Fixes: 58340f8e952b ("random: defer fast pool mixing to worker")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
