From 0766f788eb727e2e330d55d30545db65bcf2623f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emese Revfy Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 20:42:34 +0200 Subject: latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy 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.
