Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

When we emulate a guest instruction, we don't advance the hardware singlestep state machine, and thus the guest will receive a software step exception after a next instruction which is not emulated by the host. We bodge around this in an ad-hoc fashion. Sometimes we explicitly check whether userspace requested a single step, and fake a debug exception from within the kernel. Other times, we advance the HW singlestep state rely on the HW to generate the exception for us. Thus, the observed step behaviour differs for host and guest. Let's make this simpler and consistent by always advancing the HW singlestep state machine when we skip an instruction. Thus we can rely on the hardware to generate the singlestep exception for us, and never need to explicitly check for an active-pending step, nor do we need to fake a debug exception from the guest.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
