[ Upstream commit af6c0bd59f ]
Currently only the first attempt to single-step has any effect. After
that all further stepping remains "stuck" at the same program counter
value.
Refer to the ARM Architecture Reference Manual (ARM DDI 0487E.a) D2.12,
PSTATE.SS=1 should be set at each step before transferring the PE to the
'Active-not-pending' state. The problem here is PSTATE.SS=1 is not set
since the second single-step.
After the first single-step, the PE transferes to the 'Inactive' state,
with PSTATE.SS=0 and MDSCR.SS=1, thus PSTATE.SS won't be set to 1 due to
kernel_active_single_step()=true. Then the PE transferes to the
'Active-pending' state when ERET and returns to the debugger by step
exception.
