Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Fix ptrace(2) PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR accesses
 to o32 FGRs

Check the TIF_32BIT_FPREGS task setting of the tracee rather than the 
tracer in determining the layout of floating-point general registers in 
the floating-point context, correcting access to odd-numbered registers 
for o32 tracees where the setting disagrees between the two processes.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # 3.14+
Fixes: 597ce1723e0f ("MIPS: Support for 64-bit FP with O32 binaries")

Hi,

 These are not the usual requests used by GDB to access the floating-point 
context, which is likely why it went unnoticed so long.  They are only 
used as a fallback in the case where PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_SETFPREGS 
requests are not supported, i.e. with ancient kernels.

 However to verify an unrelated GDB bug fix I have tweaked GDB to always 
use PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR, and then discovered this issue in 
native GDB regression testing, as it showed regressions from corrupt FGR 
contents across numerous tests compared to the usual results.  This fix 
removed those regressions then.

 Not being typically used does not mean we ought to keep the interface 
broken.  Therefore please apply.

  Maciej
