    MIPS: Guard against any partial write attempt with PTRACE_SETREGSET · dc24d0ed
    Maciej W. Rozycki authored
    Complement commit d614fd58 ("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.
