From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 53b1a742ed251780267a57415bc955bd50f40c3d ] If get_user() fails when reading the new FPSCR value from userspace in compat_vfp_get(), then garbage* will be written to the task's FPSR and FPCR registers. This patch prevents this by checking the return from get_user() first. [*] Actually, zero, due to the behaviour of get_user() on error, but that's still not what userspace expects.
