We miss quite a number of single-step events by having
the check in the wrong place.

I haven't tested but I'm not sure this change is right.
The idea of the current code is that we handle generating
the actual singlestep exception in arm_tr_tb_stop() at the
end, rather than in the process of generating code for the
insn. This change means we now do a gen_singlestep_exception()
in the gen_jmp()/gen_goto_tb() part of the code, but we haven't
removed the handling of it in arm_tr_tb_stop(), so we're now
doing this in two places. Why doesn't the current design work?
And if we need to do something different for the route to
"change the PC via gen_jmp()" why don't we need to do it
also when we change the PC via eg gen_bx_im() ?

(Incidentally, the only places other than gen_jmp()
which call gen_goto_tb() are:
 * the end-of-TB handling of DISAS_NEXT/DISAS_TOO_MANY
 * four places for barrier insns where we use a
   gen_goto_tb to end the TB -- this isn't consistent
   with how we end the TB for other situations...)

thanks

Note that the existing gen_goto_tb does not test for single-step, and always
emits NORETURN code, either via tcg_gen_goto_tb() or
tcg_gen_lookup_and_goto_ptr().  The singlestep exception is neither generated
nor would it be reachable.

Another way to do handle this would be to test single-step but set DISAS_JUMP
instead of actually generate the singlestep exception in gen_goto_tb.  Do you
prefer that method?

See patch 67.

Fixing this sounds like a good cleanup.
