[gregkh]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    MIPS: Send SIGILL for R6 branches in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at:
    http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary

The filename of the patch is:
     mips-send-sigill-for-r6-branches-in-__compute_return_epc_for_insn.patch
and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@vger.kernel.org> know about it.

Subject: MIPS: Send SIGILL for R6 branches in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@imgtec.com>

commit a60b1a5bf88a250f1a77977c0224e502c901c77b upstream.

Fix:

* commit 8467ca0122e2 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 branch compact
(BC) instruction"),

* commit 84fef630127a ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BALC
instruction"),

* commit 69b9a2fd05a3 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BEQZC and JIC
instructions"),

* commit 28d6f93d201d ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BNEZC and JIALC
instructions"),

* commit c893ce38b265 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BOVC, BEQC and
BEQZALC instructions")

and send SIGILL rather than returning -SIGILL for R6 branch and jump
instructions.  Returning -SIGILL is never correct as the API defines
this function's result upon error to be -EFAULT and a signal actually
issued.
