Hi,

Here are the v3 patches which fixes kprobe bugs on arm64.
In this version I fixed some issues pointed by James and add Reviewed-by
and Acked-bys.

Background:
Naresh reported that recently ftracetest crashes kernel, and I found
there are 3 different bugs around the crash. In v1 thread, we found
one another bug of RCU and debug exception.

- Kprobes on arm64 doesn't recover pstate.D mask after single stepping.
So after hitting kprobes, the debug flag status is changed.
- Some symbols which are called from blacklisted function, are not
blacklisted.
- Debug exception is not visible to RCU, thus rcu_read_lock() cause
a warning inside it.
- Debug exception handlers on arm64 is using rcu_read_lock(), but
that is not needed because interrupts are disabled.

This series includes fixes for above bugs.

Thank you,

---
