Description fernando.valle 2021-01-20 19:34:25 UTC 
The ptrace_test:ptrace__PT_STEP_with_signal test fails to run on powerpc64 architecture:

cd /usr/tests/sys/kern/ && kyua test ptrace_test:ptrace__PT_STEP_with_signal

ptrace_test:ptrace__PT_STEP_with_signal  ->  failed: /usr/src/tests/sys/kern/ptrace_test.c:3552: WSTOPSIG(status) == SIGABRT not met  [0.021s]

This is happening on powerpc64. In amd64 the test runs successfully.

Seems to fail on arm64 as well.
Comment 2 Mark Johnston freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-07-06 16:00:24 UTC 
The problem on arm64 is that we don't disable single-stepping before executing a signal handler.  I suspect the problem is the same on powerpc.  This hack fixes the problem for me:
