    MIPS: Correct the 64-bit DSP accumulator register size · f5958b4c
    Maciej W. Rozycki authored
    Use the `unsigned long' rather than `__u32' type for DSP accumulator
    registers, like with the regular MIPS multiply/divide accumulator and
    general-purpose registers, as all are 64-bit in 64-bit implementations
    and using a 32-bit data type leads to contents truncation on context
    saving.
    
    Update `arch_ptrace' and `compat_arch_ptrace' accordingly, removing
    casts that are similarly not used with multiply/divide accumulator or
    general-purpose register accesses.
