Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the random tree with Linus' tree

Hi all,

[I think I have reported this before ...]

Today's linux-next merge of the random tree got a conflict in:

  include/linux/random.h

between commit:

  022c204040f3 ("random,stackprotect: introduce get_random_canary function")

from Linus' tree and commit:

  da9ba564bd68 ("random: add get_random_{bytes,u32,u64,int,long,once}_wait family")

from the random tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.

-- 
Cheers,
Stephen Rothwell
