On arm64, watchpoint handler enables single-step to bypass the next instruction for not recursive enter. If an irq is triggered right after the watchpoint, a single-step will be wrongly triggered in irq handler, which causes the watchpoint address not stepped over and system hang.Does patch [1] resolves this issue as well? I hope it should. Patch[1] has still not been sent for review. Your test result will be helpful. ~Pratyush [1] https://github.com/pratyushanand/linux/commit/7623c8099ac22eaa00e7e0f52430f7a4bd154652
Could you please provide a test program for your case so we can test it on our devices? I guess setting breakpoint on a "copy_from_user()" accessing an invalid address can trigger this problem? Thank you.
