4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx> commit 9dd73f72f218320c6c90da5f834996e7360dc227 upstream. Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved.
