Well, it is too late for me to even try to read this patch ;)

why? we have "tsk->thread.debugreg6 = dr6" above

this looks strange... we set TIF_SINGLESTEP but clear X86_EFLAGS_TF

can't understand how this change can fix the problem. We should always
send SIGTRAP if the task returns to user-mode with X86_EFLAGS_TF?
