Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 180/293] arm64: ptrace: Avoid setting compat FP[SC]R to garbage if get_user fails
Date
From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com>

[ 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.

Fixes: 478fcb2cdb23 ("arm64: Debugging support")
