Linus,
Does the patch below follows your suggestion? I'm setting the
SYSCALL_WORK shadowing TIF_SINGLESTEP every time, instead of only when
the child is inside a system call. Is this acceptable?
This seems to pass Kyle's test case. Kyle, can you verify it works with
rr?
I can also turn Kyle's test case into a selftest, if it is ok with him.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] entry: Fix missed trap after single-step on a system call return
Commit 299155244770 ("entry: Drop usage of TIF flags in the generic
syscall code") introduces a bug on architectures using the generic
syscall entry code, in which processes stopped by PTRACE_SYSCALL do not
trap on syscall return after receiving a TIF_SINGLESTEP. The reason is
the meaning of TIF_SINGLESTEP flag is overloaded to cause the trap after
a system call is executed, but since the above commit, the syscall call
handler only checks for the SYSCALL_WORK flags on the exit work.
This patch splits the meaning of TIF_SINGLESTEP such that it only means
single-step mode, and creates a new type of SYSCALL_WORK to request a
trap immediately after a syscall in single-step mode. In the current
implementation, the SYSCALL_WORK flag shadows the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag
for simplicity.
Since x86 is the only code already using the generic syscall handling,
this also updates that architecture to flip this bit when a tracer
enables single step.
