[patch 29/38] nios2: Select ARCH_HAS_RANDOM_ENTROPY

Thomas Gleixner tglx at kernel.org
Fri Apr 10 22:20:50 AEST 2026


The only remaining non-architecture usage of get_cycles() is to provide
random_get_entropy().

Switch nios2 over to the new scheme of selecting ARCH_HAS_RANDOM_ENTROPY
and providing random_get_entropy() in asm/random.h.

Add 'asm/timex.h' includes to the relevant files, so the global include can
be removed once all architectures are converted over.
