arm64: Clear out any singlestep state on a ptrace detach operation
commit 5db4fd8c52810bd9740c1240ebf89223b171aa70 upstream. Make sure to clear out any ptrace singlestep state when a ptrace(2) PTRACE_DETACH call is made on arm64 systems. Otherwise, the previously ptraced task will die off with a SIGTRAP signal if the debugger just previously singlestepped the ptraced task. Signed-off-by: John Blackwood <john.blackwood@ccur.com> [will: added comment to justify why this is in the arch code] Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
