[PATCH 4.10 08/17] c6x/ptrace: Remove useless PTRACE_SETREGSET implementation

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Mar 30 2017 - 06:01:38 EST


4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>

commit fb411b837b587a32046dc4f369acb93a10b1def8 upstream.

gpr_set won't work correctly and can never have been tested, and the
correct behaviour is not clear due to the endianness-dependent task
layout.

So, just remove it. The core code will now return -EOPNOTSUPPORT when
trying to set NT_PRSTATUS on this architecture until/unless a correct
implementation is supplied.
