Michael Karcher 9cbb5ebf40 sparc: fix accurate exception reporting in copy_to_user for Niagara 4
[ Upstream commit 5a746c1a2c7980de6c888b6373299f751ad7790b ]

The referenced commit introduced exception handlers on user-space memory
references in copy_from_user and copy_to_user. These handlers return from
the respective function and calculate the remaining bytes left to copy
using the current register contents. This commit fixes a bad calculation.
This will fix the return value of copy_to_user in a specific faulting case.
The behaviour of memcpy stays unchanged.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
