[PATCH v4 01/61] arm64: kernel: Disable latent_entropy GCC plugin in early C runtime

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>

In subsequent patches, mark portions of the early C code will be marked
as __init.  Unfortunarely, __init implies __latent_entropy, and this
would result in the early C code being instrumented in an unsafe manner.

Disable the latent entropy plugin for the early C code.
