Kernel 3.18.55 compilation fails (missing function declaration)

[Emmanuel Florac]

Hi, kernel 3.18.55 compilation fails with this error:

kernel/fork.c: In function âdup_task_structâ:
kernel/fork.c:341:2: error: implicit declaration of function
âget_random_longâ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
tsk->stack_canary = get_random_long();

Corrected by adding the declaration to include/linux/random.h line 26 :

 unsigned long get_random_long(void);

Sorry, I really can't understand how to generate a patch from a tagged
release, my git-fu is far too low...
