[PATCH v4 5/6] posix_cpu_timers_exit: wrong place to collect entropy

Show all headers | View raw

There is no logical relation between add_device_randomness() and
posix_cpu_timers_exit(). Let's move the former to where the later
is called. This way, when posix-cpu-timers.c is compiled out, there
is no need to worry about not losing a call to add_device_randomness().
