4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: John Blackwood <john.blackwood@xxxxxxxx> commit 5db4fd8c52810bd9740c1240ebf89223b171aa70 upstream. Make sure to clear out any ptrace singlestep state when a ptrace(2) PTRACE_DETACH call is made on arm64 systems. Otherwise, the previously ptraced task will die off with a SIGTRAP signal if the debugger just previously singlestepped the ptraced task.
