Will Deacon ed766e740c arm64: ptrace: Consistently use pseudo-singlestep exceptions
commit ac2081cdc4d99c57f219c1a6171526e0fa0a6fff upstream.

Although the arm64 single-step state machine can be fast-forwarded in
cases where we wish to generate a SIGTRAP without actually executing an
instruction, this has two major limitations outside of simply skipping
an instruction due to emulation.

1. Stepping out of a ptrace signal stop into a signal handler where
   SIGTRAP is blocked. Fast-forwarding the stepping state machine in
   this case will result in a forced SIGTRAP, with the handler reset to
   SIG_DFL.

2. The hardware implicitly fast-forwards the state machine when executing
   an SVC instruction for issuing a system call. This can interact badly
   with subsequent ptrace stops signalled during the execution of the
   system call (e.g. SYSCALL_EXIT or seccomp traps), as they may corrupt
   the stepping state by updating the PSTATE for the tracee.

Resolve both of these issues by injecting a pseudo-singlestep exception
on entry to a signal handler and also on return to userspace following a
system call.

README

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.
