Reset errno before PTRACE_PEEKUSER for MIPS DSP_CONTROL
PTRACE_PEEKUSER can return -1, which is usually used to determine whether a system call has reported an error, so errno must be used alone to determine whether an error occurred. However errno isn't modified by a successful system call so it must be reset to a known value (0) before the syscall call. Add the missing errno reset when reading the DSP_CONTROL register in the native MIPS Linux backend and the MIPS gdbserver backend. gdb/: * mips-linux-nat.c (mips_linux_read_description): Reset errno to 0 prior to reading DSP_CONTROL with PTRACE_PEEKUSER ptrace call. gdb/gdbserver/: * linux-mips-low.c (mips_read_description): Reset errno to 0 prior to reading DSP_CONTROL with PTRACE_PEEKUSER ptrace call.
