[ Upstream commit af6c0bd59f4f3ad5daad2f7b777954b1954551d5 ] 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
