random: remove ifdef'd out interrupt bench
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
With tools like kbench9000 giving more finegrained responses, and this
basically never having been used ever since it was initially added,
let's just get rid of this. There *is* still work to be done on the
interrupt handler, but this really isn't the way it's being developed.

If ``drivers/char/random.c`` is built with ``ADD_INTERRUPT_BENCH``

interrupts used to feed the pool;

* ``add_interrupt_avg_deviation``: the standard deviation seen on the
number of cycles between interrupts used to feed the pool.
