Subject: [PATCH 3.12 005/113] tile/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write

From: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@....com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit fd7c99142d77dc4a851879a66715abf12a3193fb upstream.

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to
PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old
registers are preserved.
