arm64: kprobes: Recover pstate.D in single-step exception handler
[ Upstream commit b3980e4 ] 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 7419333 ("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.
