ARM: 8986/1: hw_breakpoint: Don't invoke overflow handler on uaccess watchpoints
commit eec13b42d41b0f3339dcf0c4da43734427c68620 upstream. Unprivileged memory accesses generated by the so-called "translated" instructions (e.g. LDRT) in kernel mode can cause user watchpoints to fire unexpectedly. In such cases, the hw_breakpoint logic will invoke the user overflow handler which will typically raise a SIGTRAP back to the current task. This is futile when returning back to the kernel because (a) the signal won't have been delivered and (b) userspace can't handle the thing anyway. Avoid invoking the user overflow handler for watchpoints triggered by kernel uaccess routines, and instead single-step over the faulting instruction as we would if no overflow handler had been installed.
