The generic report_single_step() always returns false if SYSCALL_EMU is set, but arm64 only checks _TIF_SINGLESTEP and does not check _TIF_SYSCALL_EMU, which means that if both _TIF_SINGLESTEP and _TIF_SYSCALL_EMU are set, the generic entry will not report a single-step, whereas arm64 will do it. As the man manual of PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP said, "For PTRACE_SYSEMU, continue and stop on entry to the next system call, which will not be executed. For PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP, do the same but also singlestep if not a system call.". And as the generic entry report_single_step() comment said, If SYSCALL_EMU is set, then the only reason to report is when SINGLESTEP is set (i.e. PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP). Because this syscall instruction has been already reported in syscall_trace_enter(), there is no need to report the syscall again in syscall_exit_work(). In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry code, - Add report_single_step() helper for arm64 to make it clear. - Do not report_syscall_exit() if both _TIF_SYSCALL_EMU and _TIF_SINGLESTEP set.
