Hi all,

These three copies of the same patch backport dbd4d7ca563f
("arm64: Rework valid_user_regs") to the stable kernels listed on kernel.org
as far back as v3.16.

This patch fixed a userspace triggerable oops when userspace tries
to switch to a mode not supported by the kernel:
[  286.628508] Bad mode in Synchronous Abort handler detected, code 0x46000000 -- SVC (AArch32)
[  286.639625] CPU: 3 PID: 2072 Comm: inter Not tainted 4.4.14 #4504
[  286.648391] Hardware name: ARM Juno development board (r1) (DT)
[ ... ]

Thanks,
