A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

A potential deadlock was reported with the config file at
https://web.archive.org/web/20240522052129/https://0x0.st/XPN_.txt
In this particular configuration, the deadlock doesn't exist because
the warning triggered at a point before modules were even available.
However, the deadlock can be real because any module loaded would
invoke async_synchronize_full.
The issue is spurious for software crypto algorithms which aren't
themselves involved in async probing. However, it would be hard to
avoid for a PCI crypto driver using async probing.
In this particular call trace, the problem is easily avoided because
the only reason the module is being requested during probing is the
add_early_randomness call in the hwrng core. This feature is
vestigial since there is now a kernel thread dedicated to doing
exactly this.
So remove add_early_randomness as it is no longer needed.

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 reStructuredText 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.
