[BUGFIX PATCH 2/3] kprobes/arm: Skip single-stepping in recursing path if possible

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Mon Feb 13 2017 - 10:06:56 EST


Kprobes/arm skips single-stepping (moreover handling the event)
if the conditional instruction must not be executed. This
also apply the rule when we hit the recursing kprobe, so
that kprobe does not count nmissed up in that case.
