This fixes the gdbserver issue on PPC32 described here: Link: https://linuxppc-dev.ozlabs.narkive.com/C46DRek4/debug-problems-on-ppc-83xx-target-due-to-changed-struct-task-struct
On PPC32, the user space code considers the floating point to be an array of unsigned int (32 bits) - the index passed in is based on this assumption. fp_state is a matrix consisting of 32 lines /* FP and VSX 0-31 register set / struct thread_fp_state { u64 fpr[32][TS_FPRWIDTH] attribute((aligned(16))); u64 fpscr; / Floating point status */ }; On PPC32, PT_FPSCR is defined as: (PT_FPR0 + 2*32 + 1) This means the fpr index validation allows a range from 0 to 65, leading to out-of-bounds array access. This ends up corrupting threads_struct->state, which holds the state of the task. Thus, threads incorrectly transition from a running state to a traced state and get stuck in that state. On PPC32 it's ok to assume that TS_FPRWIDTH is 1 because CONFIG_VSX is PPC64 specific. TS_FPROFFSET can be safely ignored, thus the assumption that fpr is an array of 32 elements of type u64 holds true.
