Hi all,
This is version two of the patches I previously posted here:
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20200603151033.11512-1-will@kernel.org/
Thanks to Keno for a bunch of helpful feedback on that, which has led to
the following major changes for v2:
- Use pseudo-step traps for both entering a signal handler and exiting a
system call.
- Document our weird x7 behaviour with PTRACE_SYSCALL.
It has to be said that I'm a bit nervous about these changes. I played
around with GDB and things seemed ok, but I would really appreciate it
if Luis could run the GDB testsuite with these changes applied.
Cheers,
Will
