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: use fallback for random_get_entropy() instead of zero</title>

commit c04e72700f2293013dab40208e809369378f224c upstream.

In the event that random_get_entropy() can't access a cycle counter or
similar, falling back to returning 0 is really not the best we can do.
Instead, at least calling random_get_entropy_fallback() would be
preferable, because that always needs to return _something_, even
falling back to jiffies eventually. It's not as though
random_get_entropy_fallback() is super high precision or guaranteed to
be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all the time is
better than returning zero all the time.

commit 4a089e95b4d6bb625044d47aed0c442a8f7bd093 upstream.

nios2:allmodconfig builds fail with

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/nios2/boot/dts/""',
	needed by 'arch/nios2/boot/dts/built-in.a'.  Stop.
make: [Makefile:1868: arch/nios2/boot/dts] Error 2 (ignored)

This is seen with compile tests since those enable NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE_BOOL,
which in turn enables NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE. This causes the build error
because the default value for NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE is an empty string.
Disable NIOS2_DTB_SOURCE_BOOL for compile tests to avoid the error.
