Subject: [PATCH] ptrace: restore the previous single step reporting behavior

Commit 64eb35f701f04b30706e21d1b02636b5d31a37d2 changed when single step
is reported.

Specifically, the report_single_step is changed so that single steps are
only reported when both SYSCALL_EMU and _TIF_SINGLESTEP are set, while
previously they are reported when _TIF_SINGLESTEP is set without
_TIF_SYSCALL_EMU being set.

This behavior change breaks rr [1]

This commit restores the old behavior.

Hey everyone,

This regression[0] has totally broken rr on 5.11. Could we get someone
to look at and merge Yuxuan's patch here?

Looks correct to me.

To gather the right attention, you should directly CC the correct maintainers.

entry: Unbreak single step reporting behaviour

The move of TIF_SYSCALL_EMU to SYSCALL_WORK_SYSCALL_EMU broke single step
reporting. The original code reported the single step when TIF_SINGLESTEP
was set and TIF_SYSCALL_EMU was not set. The SYSCALL_WORK conversion got
the logic wrong and now the reporting only happens when both bits are set.

Restore the original behaviour.

[ tglx: Massaged changelog and dropped the pointless double negation ]

Sorry, I broke the reply threading in my mail client.
