After revisiting my patches a few weeks later, I have some additional
thoughts:
1. Keep arm32 ptrace as it. Legacy APIs only need critical bug fix.
2. For arm64 ptrace, the patch is not only a fix for 32-bit tracee
but also a refactor that removes partially set state, making logic
clearer and preventing similar bugs.
The patch can be tested with the code in my previous mail:
