[PATCH v3 5/5] arm64: fault: re-enable irq if it was disabled for single stepping

From: Pratyush Anand
Date: Mon Jul 31 2017 - 06:41:29 EST


We disable irq before single stepping and re-enable it after it.
However, if stepped instruction will cause a fault then we will enter
into fault handler with interrupt disabled, which is not desired.
But, we should be safe if we re-enable interrupt in fault handler if
it was disabled for single stepping.
