3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dave Martin <dave.mar...@arm.com>
commit 5fe81fe98123ce41265c65e95d34418d30d005d1 upstream.
Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill TXSTATUS, a well-defined default value is used, based on the
task's current value.
