MIPS: ptrace: Prevent writes to read-only FCSR bits
commit abf378be49f38c4d3e23581d3df3fa9f1b1b11d2 upstream. Correct the cases missed with commit 9b26616c8d9d ("MIPS: Respect the ISA level in FCSR handling") and prevent writes to read-only FCSR bits there. This in particular applies to FP context initialisation where any IEEE 754-2008 bits preset by `mips_set_personality_nan' are cleared before the relevant ptrace(2) call takes effect and the PTRACE_POKEUSR request addressing FPC_CSR where no masking of read-only FCSR bits is done. Remove the FCSR clearing from FP context initialisation then and unify PTRACE_POKEUSR/FPC_CSR and PTRACE_SETFPREGS handling, by factoring out code from `ptrace_setfpregs' and calling it from both places. This mostly matters to soft float configurations where the emulator can be switched this way to a mode which should not be accessible and cannot be set with the CTC1 instruction. With hard float configurations any effect is transient anyway as read-only bits will retain their values at the time the FP context is restored. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
