UPSTREAM: random: restore O_NONBLOCK support Prior to 5.6, when /dev/random was opened with O_NONBLOCK, it would return -EAGAIN if there was no entropy. When the pools were unified in 5.6, this was lost. The post 5.6 behavior of blocking until the pool is initialized, and ignoring O_NONBLOCK in the process, went unnoticed, with no reports about the regression received for two and a half years. However, eventually this indeed did break somebody's userspace. So we restore the old behavior, by returning -EAGAIN if the pool is not initialized. Unlike the old /dev/random, this can only occur during early boot, after which it never blocks again. In order to make this O_NONBLOCK behavior consistent with other expectations, also respect users reading with preadv2(RWF_NOWAIT) and similar.

BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
