<content type='text'>
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.

Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode
  tasks.

  Commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for
  all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call
  kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct
  kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of
  struct kthread possible.

  Here, commit 343f4c49f243 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for
  init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple
  enough to be backportable.

  The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things
  up and cause the code to make sense.

  In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks
  I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
  detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
  PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
  flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
  was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace
  thread.

  I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review
  I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code
  sitting in linux-next"

<title>nios2: use fallback for random_get_entropy() instead of zero</title>

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.

Many architectures have similar install.sh scripts.

The first half is really generic; it verifies that the kernel image
and System.map exist, then executes ~/bin/${INSTALLKERNEL} or
/sbin/${INSTALLKERNEL} if available.

The second half is kind of arch-specific; it copies the kernel image
and System.map to the destination, but the code is slightly different.

Factor out the generic part into scripts/install.sh.
