The culprit was kprobe_breakpoint_ss_handler() returning DBG_HOOK_ERROR which leads to the Unexpected kernel BRK exception. Reverting commit ba090f9caf ("arm64: kprobes: Remove redundant kprobe_step_ctx") seemed to fix the problem for me. Further analysis showed that kcb->kprobe_status is set to KPROBE_REENTER when the error occurs. By teaching kprobe_breakpoint_ss_handler() to handle this status I can no longer reproduce the problem.
