    nios2: add force_successful_syscall_return() · fd0c153d
    Al Viro authored
    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 ->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.
