3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx> commit 9a17b876b573441bfb3387ad55d98bf7184daf9d upstream. Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved.
