Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved. convert_vx_to_fp() is adapted to handle only a specified number of registers rather than unconditionally handling all of them: other callers of this function are adapted appropriately. Based on an initial patch by Dave Martin. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
