Thanks for your testing!  ...I'll have to check out your test suite soon.

It wouldn't hurt if this made it back to stable on a best-effort
approach.  The problem has been there since the beginning, so it's not
like it's fixing a regression that cropped up in a specific version.
...but it does fix a bug, so probably Cc stable makes sense.  I guess
I'd leave it up to the maintainer that applies the patch?

This is the equivalent of commit 001bf455d206 ("ARM: 8428/1: kgdb: Fix<br>
registers on sleeping tasks") but for arm64.  Nuff said.<br>
<br>
...well, perhaps I could also add that task_pt_regs are userspace<br>
registers and that's not what kgdb is supposed to be reporting.  We're<br>
supposed to be reporting kernel registers.<br>

I hacked together a (still very immature) kgdb test suite[1] around
the turn of the year. Whilst its not quite solid enough for me to
recommend others deploy it except out of curiosity... so I haven't yet
started yelling about test suite failures except in the privacy of my
own head.<br>
<br>
However I can confirm that this patch fixes one of the test suite
failures I haven't had time to blame allocate yet!<br>
