Andrew Donnellan 012e8d2034 gcc-plugins: Undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN when plugin disabled for a file
Commit 36d4b36b69 ("lib/nodemask: inline next_node_in() and
node_random()") refactored some code by moving node_random() from
lib/nodemask.c to include/linux/nodemask.h, thus requiring nodemask.h to
include random.h, which conditionally defines add_latent_entropy()
depending on whether the macro LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN is defined.

This broke the build on powerpc, where nodemask.h is indirectly included
in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c, part of the early boot machinery that
is excluded from the latent entropy plugin using
DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN. It turns out that while we add a gcc flag
to disable the actual plugin, we don't undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN.

This leads to the following:

Change the DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN flags to undefine
LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN for files where the plugin is disabled.

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.
