Subject[PATCH 2/5] x86/uprobes: implement x86 specific arch_uprobe_*_step
Date
The arch specific implementation behaves like user_enable_single_step()
except that it does not disable single stepping if it was already
enabled. This allows the debugger to single step over an uprobe.
The state of block stepping is not restored. It makes only sense
together with TF and if that was enabled then the debugger is notified.
