[PATCH 4.4 08/14] mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Mar 30 2017 - 05:59:56 EST


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

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

From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>

commit d614fd58a2834cfe4efa472c33c8f3ce2338b09b upstream.

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved.
