Preserve the PSTATE.SS value for the guest while userspace enables
single-step (i.e. while KVM manipulates the PSTATE.SS) for the vCPU.
Currently, while userspace enables single-step for the vCPU
(with KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP), KVM sets PSTATE.SS to 1 on every
guest entry, not saving its original value.
When userspace disables single-step, KVM doesn't restore the original
value for the subsequent guest entry (use the current value instead).
Exception return instructions copy PSTATE.SS from SPSR_ELx.SS
only in certain cases when single-step is enabled (and set it to 0
in other cases). So, the value matters only when the guest enables
single-step (and when the guest's Software step state isn't affected
by single-step enabled by userspace, practically), though.
Fix this by preserving the original PSTATE.SS value while userspace
enables single-step, and restoring the value once it is disabled.
This fix modifies the behavior of GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG for the
PSTATE.SS while single-step is enabled by userspace.
Presently, GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG gets/sets the current PSTATE.SS
value, which KVM will override on the next guest entry (i.e. the
value userspace gets/sets is not used for the next guest entry).
With this patch, GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG will get/set the guest's
preserved value, which KVM will preserve and try to restore after
single-step is disabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
