Subject: [PATCH 3.16 094/254] MIPS: prevent FP context set via ptrace
 being discarded

3.16.55-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@...tec.com>

commit ac9ad83bc318635ed7496e9dff30beaa522eaec7 upstream.

If a ptracee has not used the FPU and the ptracer sets its FP context
using PTRACE_POKEUSR, PTRACE_SETFPREGS or PTRACE_SETREGSET then that
context will be discarded upon either the ptracee using the FPU or a
further write to the context via ptrace. Prevent this loss by recording
that the task has "used" math once its FP context has been written to.
The context initialisation code that was present for the PTRACE_POKEUSR
case is reused for the other 2 cases to provide consistent behaviour
for the different ptrace requests.
