user_enable/disable_single_step() was designed for ptrace, it assumes
a single user and does unnecessary and wrong things for uprobes. For
example:
- arch_uprobe_enable_step() can't trust TIF_SINGLESTEP, an
application itself can set X86_EFLAGS_TF which must be
preserved after arch_uprobe_disable_step().
- we do not want to set TIF_SINGLESTEP/TIF_FORCED_TF in
arch_uprobe_enable_step(), this only makes sense for ptrace.
- otoh we leak TIF_SINGLESTEP if arch_uprobe_disable_step()
doesn't do user_disable_single_step(), the application will
be killed after the next syscall.
- arch_uprobe_enable_step() does access_process_vm() we do
not need/want.
Change arch_uprobe_enable/disable_step() to set/clear X86_EFLAGS_TF
directly, this is much simpler and more correct. However, we need to
clear TIF_BLOCKSTEP/DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF before executing the probed insn,
add set_task_blockstep(false).
Note: with or without this patch, there is another (hopefully minor)
problem. A probed "pushf" insn can see the wrong X86_EFLAGS_TF set by
uprobes. Perhaps we should change _disable to update the stack, or
teach arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() to emulate this insn.
