[ Upstream commitb3980e4852] kprobes manipulates the interrupted PSTATE for single step, and doesn't restore it. Thus, if we put a kprobe where the pstate.D (debug) masked, the mask will be cleared after the kprobe hits. Moreover, in the most complicated case, this can lead a kernel crash with below message when a nested kprobe hits. [ 152.118921] Unexpected kernel single-step exception at EL1 When the 1st kprobe hits, do_debug_exception() will be called. At this point, debug exception (= pstate.D) must be masked (=1). But if another kprobes hits before single-step of the first kprobe (e.g. inside user pre_handler), it unmask the debug exception (pstate.D = 0) and return. Then, when the 1st kprobe setting up single-step, it saves current DAIF, mask DAIF, enable single-step, and restore DAIF. However, since "D" flag in DAIF is cleared by the 2nd kprobe, the single-step exception happens soon after restoring DAIF. This has been introduced by commit7419333fa1("arm64: kprobe: Always clear pstate.D in breakpoint exception handler") To solve this issue, this stores all DAIF bits and restore it after single stepping.

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.
