I quite liked the sigtrap consolidation in my earlier (broken) approach.
Does the following work for you?

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: debug: re-enable irqs before sending breakpoint
 SIGTRAP

force_sig_info can sleep under an -rt kernel, so attempting to send a
breakpoint SIGTRAP with interrupts disabled yields the following BUG:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at
  /kernel-source/kernel/locking/rtmutex.c:917
  in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 128, pid: 551, name: test.sh
  CPU: 5 PID: 551 Comm: test.sh Not tainted 4.1.13-rt13 #7
  Hardware name: Freescale Layerscape 2085a RDB Board (DT)
  Call trace:
	 dump_backtrace+0x0/0x128
	 show_stack+0x24/0x30
	 dump_stack+0x80/0xa0
	 ___might_sleep+0x128/0x1a0
	 rt_spin_lock+0x2c/0x40
	 force_sig_info+0xcc/0x210
	 brk_handler.part.2+0x6c/0x80
	 brk_handler+0xd8/0xe8
	 do_debug_exception+0x58/0xb8

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that interrupts are enabled
prior to sending the SIGTRAP if they were already enabled in the user
context.
