[PATCH 2/3] MIPS: Correct the 64-bit DSP accumulator register size

From: Maciej W. Rozycki
Date: Tue May 15 2018 - 18:35:19 EST


Use the `unsigned long' rather than `__u32' type for DSP accumulator
registers, like with the regular MIPS multiply/divide accumulator and
general-purpose registers, as all are 64-bit in 64-bit implementations
and using a 32-bit data type leads to contents truncation on context
saving.

Update `arch_ptrace' and `compat_arch_ptrace' accordingly, removing
casts that are similarly not used with multiply/divide accumulator or
general-purpose register accesses.

Hi,

I have no 64-bit DSP hardware handy to verify this change, however some
surely exists and is used to run Linux, as indicated by GDB PR gdb/22286,
<https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22286>, so we better get
it right before people start screaming.

Maciej
