This means that: - Any writes by the tracer to this register during the stop are ignored/discarded. - The actual value of the register is not available during the stop, so the tracer cannot save it and restore it later. This series introduces NT_ARM_PRSTATUS to get all registers and makes it possible to change ip/r12 and x7 registers when tracee is stopped in syscall traps. For applications like the user-mode Linux or gVisor, it is critical to have access to the full set of registers in any moment. For example, they need to change values of all registers to emulate rt_sigreturn and they need to have the full set of registers to build a signal frame.
