If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From c7e814628df65f424fe197dde73bfc67e4a244d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 16 May 2018 16:39:58 +0100 Subject: MIPS: ptrace: Fix PTRACE_PEEKUSR requests for 64-bit FGRs From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxx> commit c7e814628df65f424fe197dde73bfc67e4a244d7 upstream. Use 64-bit accesses for 64-bit floating-point general registers with PTRACE_PEEKUSR, removing the truncation of their upper halves in the FR=1 mode, caused by commit bbd426f542cb ("MIPS: Simplify FP context access"), which inadvertently switched them to using 32-bit accesses. The PTRACE_POKEUSR side is fine as it's never been broken and continues using 64-bit accesses. Fixes: bbd426f542cb ("MIPS: Simplify FP context access") Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
