In linux-6.1, the related code is refactored in commit 124c49b1b5d9 ("arm64: armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction handling") and this issue was incidentally fixed. This patch set try to adapt the refactoring stable 5.10 patches to solve the problem of repeated addition of linked lists described below.
How to reproduce: CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED=y, CONFIG_SWP_EMULATION=y, and CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y, then launch two shell executions: #!/bin/bash while [ 1 ]; do echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/swp done
or "echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/swp" and then launch two shell executions: #!/bin/bash while [ 1 ]; do echo 0 > /proc/sys/abi/swp done
In emulation_proc_handler(), read and write operations are performed on insn->current_mode. In the concurrency scenario, mutex only protects writing insn->current_mode, and not protects the read. Suppose there are two concurrent tasks, task1 updates insn->current_mode to INSN_EMULATE in the critical section, the prev_mode of task2 is still the old data INSN_UNDEF of insn->current_mode. As a result, two tasks call update_insn_emulation_mode twice with prev_mode = INSN_UNDEF and current_mode = INSN_EMULATE, then call register_emulation_hooks twice, resulting in a list_add double problem.
commit 124c49b1b5d9 ("arm64: armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction handling") remove the dynamic registration and unregistration so remove the register_undef_hook() function, so the below problem was incidentally fixed.

The first patch is the self-developed patch, so revert it.
The next 4 patches is a patch set which provides context for subsequent refactoring 9 patches, especially commit 0f2cb928a154 ("arm64: consistently pass ESR_ELx to die()") which modify do_undefinstr() to add a ESR_ELx value arg, and then commit 61d64a376ea8 ("arm64: split EL0/EL1 UNDEF handlers") splits do_undefinstr() handler into separate do_el0_undef() and do_el1_undef() handlers.
The 9 patches after that is another refactoring patch set, which is in preparation for the main rework commit 124c49b1b5d9 ("arm64: armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction handling"). To remove struct undef_hook, commit bff8f413c71f ("arm64: factor out EL1 SSBS emulation hook") factor out EL1 SSBS emulation hook, which also avoid call call_undef_hook() in do_el1_undef(), commit f5962add74b6 ("arm64: rework EL0 MRS emulation") factor out EL0 MRS emulation hook, which also prepare for replacing call_undef_hook() in do_el0_undef(). To replace call_undef_hook() function, commit 61d64a376ea8 ("arm64: split EL0/EL1 UNDEF handlers") split the do_undefinstr() into do_el0_undef() and do_el1_undef() functions, and commit dbfbd87efa79 ("arm64: factor insn read out of call_undef_hook()") factor user_insn_read() from call_undef_hook() so the main rework patch can replace the call_undef_hook() in do_el0_undef().
The last patch is a bugfix for the main rework patch.
