Merge tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random

Pull /dev/random updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "This adds a memzero_explicit() call which is guaranteed not to be
  optimized away by GCC.  This is important when we are wiping
  cryptographically sensitive material"

* tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random:
  crypto: memzero_explicit - make sure to clear out sensitive data
  random: add and use memzero_explicit() for clearing data
