Subject[PATCH 4/4] arm64: kgdb: Set PSTATE.SS to 1 to reenable single-step
Date
After fixing wrongly single-stepping into the irq handler, when we execute
single-step in kdb/kgdb, we can see only the first step can work.

Refer to the ARM Architecture Reference Manual (ARM DDI 0487E.a) D2.12,
i think PSTATE.SS=1 should be set each step for transferring the PE to the
'Active-not-pending' state. The problem here is PSTATE.SS=1 is not set
since the second single-step.

After the first single-step, the PE transferes to the 'Inactive' state,
with PSTATE.SS=0 and MDSCR.SS=1, thus PSTATE.SS won't be set to 1 due to
kernel_active_single_step()=true. Then the PE transferes to the
'Active-pending' state when ERET and returns to the debugger by step
exception.
