There are two issues with assigning random percpu seeds right now: 1. We use for_each_possible_cpu() to iterate over cpus, but cpumask is not set up yet at the moment of kasan_init(), and thus we only set the seed for cpu #0. 2. A call to get_random_u32() always returns the same number and produces a message in dmesg, since the random subsystem is not yet initialized. Fix 1 by calling kasan_init_tags() after cpumask is set up. Fix 2 by using get_cycles() instead of get_random_u32(). This gives us lower quality random numbers, but it's good enough, as KASAN is meant to be used as a debugging tool and not a mitigation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
