Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] arm64: kprobes: Recover pstate.D in single-step exception handler

From: Masami Hiramatsu <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2019 17:15:54 +0900

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 commit 7419333fa15e ("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.

  Changes in v3:
   - Update patch description
   - move PSR_DAIF_MASK in daifflags.h
  Changes in v2:
   - Save and restore all DAIF flags.
   - Operate pstate directly and remove spsr_set_debug_flag().
