I suppose the cleanest thing would be to drop the flush_icache_range() call and then use aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() instead of aarch64_insn_write() in your change. Will

Single-step slot would not be used until kprobe is enabled, that means no race condition occurs on it under SMP, hence it is safe to pacth ss slot without stopping machine.
