From a0f732b2bf28af84e75f00f8cf51fe798c08ddc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Mon, 30 May 2016 23:14:56 +0100 Subject: ARM: fix PTRACE_SETVFPREGS on SMP systems commit e2dfb4b880146bfd4b6aa8e138c0205407cebbaf upstream. PTRACE_SETVFPREGS fails to properly mark the VFP register set to be reloaded, because it undoes one of the effects of vfp_flush_hwstate(). Specifically vfp_flush_hwstate() sets thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu to an invalid CPU number, but vfp_set() overwrites this with the original CPU number, thereby rendering the hardware state as apparently "valid", even though the software state is more recent. Fix this by reverting the previous change.
