Thanks for clarification.

I came to suspect that commit 08626a6056aa ("arm: Implement thread_struct
whitelist for hardened usercopy") missed that ptrace(PTRACE_SETFPREGS)
needs to declare a usercopy whitelist. It seems to me that
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=Patch&x=14c42099180000 can fix
this problem, but I'm not sure whether this is safe/correct. Can you check?
