Thanks! Can you include a body in the commit message? For this, something like:

Disable the gcc-plugin unconditionlly here because ... *reason it is required*

etc

Hi,

Thanks, I've squashed this into the latenty_entropy initial commit in my tree.

I think you meant prom_init.o...

Additionally, DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN is conditioned on 
CONFIG_PAX_LATENT_ENTROPY rather than CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY, 
so it doesn't get exported correctly.

Will submit fixes along with patches to enable plugins on powerpc once I 
get that sorted.

(In future please remember to cc linuxppc-dev.)

Just checking in: did these patches materialize? I'd love to see
plugins working on v4.10 for ppc.

Working on it! 
https://github.com/ajdlinux/linux/tree/powerpc-gcc-plugin-infrastructure

Just need to test with all the compilers to figure out which ones are 
broken so we can put a version check in...

Very cool, thanks!
