arm64: ptrace: Override SPSR.SS when single-stepping is enabled
Luis reports that, when reverse debugging with GDB, single-step does not
function as expected on arm64:
| I've noticed, under very specific conditions, that a PTRACE_SINGLESTEP
| request by GDB won't execute the underlying instruction. As a consequence,
| the PC doesn't move, but we return a SIGTRAP just like we would for a
| regular successful PTRACE_SINGLESTEP request.
The underlying problem is that when the CPU register state is restored
as part of a reverse step, the SPSR.SS bit is cleared and so the hardware
single-step state can transition to the "active-pending" state, causing
an unexpected step exception to be taken immediately if a step operation
is attempted.
In hindsight, we probably shouldn't have exposed SPSR.SS in the pstate
accessible by the GPR regset, but it's a bit late for that now. Instead,
simply prevent userspace from configuring the bit to a value which is
inconsistent with the TIF_SINGLESTEP state for the task being traced.
