Subject: powerpc/ptrace: Preserve previous TM fprs/vsrs on short regset write
From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx>
commit b34ca60148c53971d373643195cc5c4d5d20be78 upstream.
Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill all the check pointed registers, the thread's old check pointed
registers are preserved.
Fixes: 9d3918f7c0e5 ("powerpc/ptrace: Enable support for NT_PPC_CVSX")
Fixes: 19cbcbf75a0c ("powerpc/ptrace: Enable support for NT_PPC_CFPR")
