[BUGFIX PATCH V2 2/3] kprobes/arm: Skip single-stepping in recursing path if possible

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Tue Feb 14 2017 - 19:30:58 EST


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