interrupt is disabled during "single step" by kprobes_save_local_irqflag()
and kprobes_restore_local_irqflag(). The code flow looks like: 

do_trap_break()   // for bp
  kprobe_breakpoint_handler()
    setup_singlestep()
      kprobes_restore_local_irqflag()

do_trap_break()  // for ss
  kprobe_single_step_handler()
    kprobes_restore_local_irqflag()

Thanks
