4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxx> commit f5958b4cf4fc38ed4583ab83fb7c4cd1ab05f47b upstream. 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. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
