KVM: arm64: guest debug, add support for single-step
This adds support for single-stepping the guest. To do this we need to manipulate the guests PSTATE.SS and MDSCR_EL1.SS bits to trigger stepping. We take care to preserve MDSCR_EL1 and trap access to it to ensure we don't affect the apparent state of the guest. As we have to enable trapping of all software debug exceptions we suppress the ability of the guest to single-step itself. If we didn't we would have to deal with the exception arriving while the guest was in kernelspace when the guest is expecting to single-step userspace. This is something we don't want to unwind in the kernel. Once the host is no longer debugging the guest its ability to single-step userspace is restored.
