arm64: ptrace: Consistently use pseudo-singlestep exceptions
Although the arm64 single-step state machine can be fast-forwarded in
cases where we wish to generate a SIGTRAP without actually executing an
instruction, this has two major limitations outside of simply skipping
an instruction due to emulation.
1. Stepping out of a ptrace signal stop into a signal handler where
SIGTRAP is blocked. Fast-forwarding the stepping state machine in
this case will result in a forced SIGTRAP, with the handler reset to
SIG_DFL.
2. The hardware implicitly fast-forwards the state machine when executing
an SVC instruction for issuing a system call. This can interact badly
with subsequent ptrace stops signalled during the execution of the
system call (e.g. SYSCALL_EXIT or seccomp traps), as they may corrupt
the stepping state by updating the PSTATE for the tracee.
Resolve both of these issues by injecting a pseudo-singlestep exception
on entry to a signal handler and also on return to userspace following a
system call.
