commit fd0c153daad135d0ec1a53c5dbe6936a724d6ae1 upstream.

If we use the ancient SysV syscall ABI, we'd better have tell the
kernel how to claim that a negative return value is a success.
Use -&gt;orig_r2 for that - it's inaccessible via ptrace, so it's
a fair game for changes and it's normally[*] non-negative on return
from syscall.  Set to -1; syscall is not going to be restart-worthy
by definition, so we won't interfere with that use either.

[*] the only exception is rt_sigreturn(), where we skip the entire
messing with r1/r2 anyway.

commit 2d631bd58fe0ea3e3350212e23c9aba1fb606514 upstream.

sys_foo() returns -512 (aka -ERESTARTSYS) =&gt; do_signal() sees
512 in r2 and 1 in r1.

sys_foo() returns 512 =&gt; do_signal() sees 512 in r2 and 0 in r1.

The former is restart-worthy; the latter obviously isn't.

commit 65d1e3ddeae117f6a224535e10a09145f0f96508 upstream.

Mainline crashes as follows when running nios2 images.

On node 0 totalpages: 65536
free_area_init_node: node 0, pgdat c8408fa0, node_mem_map c8726000
  Normal zone: 512 pages used for memmap
  Normal zone: 0 pages reserved
  Normal zone: 65536 pages, LIFO batch:15
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
ea = c8003cb0, ra = c81cbf40, cause = 15
Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops

Problem is seen because get_cycles() is called before the timer it depends
on is initialized. Returning 0 in that situation fixes the problem.

<title>nios2: reserve boot memory for device tree</title>

commit 921d701e6f31e1ffaca3560416af1aa04edb4c4f upstream.

Make sure to reserve the boot memory for the flattened device tree.
Otherwise it might get overwritten, e.g. when initial_boot_params is
copied, leading to a corrupted FDT and a boot hang/crash:

  bootconsole [early0] enabled
  Early console on uart16650 initialized at 0xf8001600
  OF: fdt: Error -11 processing FDT
  Kernel panic - not syncing: setup_cpuinfo: No CPU found in devicetree!

  ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: setup_cpuinfo: No CPU found in devicetree!

Guenter Roeck says:

&gt; I think I found the problem. In unflatten_and_copy_device_tree(), with added
&gt; debug information:
&gt;
&gt; OF: fdt: initial_boot_params=c861e400, dt=c861f000 size=28874 (0x70ca)
&gt;
&gt; ... and then initial_boot_params is copied to dt, which results in corrupted
&gt; fdt since the memory overlaps. Looks like the initial_boot_params memory
&gt; is not reserved and (re-)allocated by early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch().
