Subject: [PATCH 0/3 v2] arm64/ptrace: allow to get all registers on syscall traps
Date:   Mon,  1 Feb 2021 11:40:09 -0800

Right now, ip/r12 for AArch32 and x7 for AArch64 is used to indicate
whether or not the stop has been signalled from syscall entry or syscall
exit. This means that:

- Any writes by the tracer to this register during the stop are
  ignored/discarded.

- The actual value of the register is not available during the stop,
  so the tracer cannot save it and restore it later.

For applications like the user-mode Linux or gVisor, it is critical to
have access to the full set of registers in any moment. For example,
they need to change values of all registers to emulate rt_sigreturn or
execve and they need to have the full set of registers to build a signal
frame.

This series introduces the PTRACE_O_ARM64_RAW_REGS option. If it is set,
PTRACE_GETREGSET returns values of all registers, and PTRACE_SETREGSET
allows to change any of them.

Andrei Vagin (3):
  arm64/ptrace: don't clobber task registers on syscall entry/exit traps
  arm64/ptrace: introduce PTRACE_O_ARM64_RAW_REGS
  selftest/arm64/ptrace: add tests for PTRACE_O_ARM64_RAW_REGS

v2: use the ptrace option instead of adding a new regset.
