[PATCH v7 6/9] x86/KASLR: Clarify purpose of each get_random_long()

Show all headers | View raw

KASLR will be calling get_random_long() twice, but the debug output
won't distinguishing between them. This patch adds a report on when it
is fetching the physical vs virtual address. With this, once the virtual
offset is separate, the report changes from:

KASLR using RDTSC...
KASLR using RDTSC...

into:

Physical KASLR using RDTSC...
Virtual KASLR using RDTSC...
