stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.119 commit a1b5c849d855c97f75375c564321961ad18b8f46 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5L6BB Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=a1b5c849d855c97f75375c564321961ad18b8f46 -------------------------------- commit b0c3e796 upstream. Some implementations were returning type `unsigned long`, while others that fell back to get_cycles() were implicitly returning a `cycles_t` or an untyped constant int literal. That makes for weird and confusing code, and basically all code in the kernel already handled it like it was an `unsigned long`. I recently tried to handle it as the largest type it could be, a `cycles_t`, but doing so doesn't really help with much. Instead let's just make random_get_entropy() return an unsigned long all the time. This also matches the commonly used `arch_get_random_long()` function, so now RDRAND and RDTSC return the same sized integer, which means one can fallback to the other more gracefully.
