Complement commitd614fd58a2("mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write") and ensure that no partial register write attempt is made with PTRACE_SETREGSET, as we do not preinitialize any temporaries used to hold incoming register data and consequently random data could be written. It is the responsibility of the caller, such as `ptrace_regset', to arrange for writes to span whole registers only, so here we only assert that it has indeed happened. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
