3.16.49-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Dave Martin <[email protected]> commit 53b1a742ed251780267a57415bc955bd50f40c3d upstream. 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.
