Sean Christopherson 570fa3bcd2 KVM: x86: Treat #DBs from the emulator as fault-like (code and DR7.GD=1)
[ Upstream commit 5623f751bd ]

Add a dedicated "exception type" for #DBs, as #DBs can be fault-like or
trap-like depending the sub-type of #DB, and effectively defer the
decision of what to do with the #DB to the caller.

For the emulator's two calls to exception_type(), treat the #DB as
fault-like, as the emulator handles only code breakpoint and general
detect #DBs, both of which are fault-like.

For event injection, which uses exception_type() to determine whether to
set EFLAGS.RF=1 on the stack, keep the current behavior of not setting
RF=1 for #DBs.  Intel and AMD explicitly state RF isn't set on code #DBs,
so exempting by failing the "== EXCPT_FAULT" check is correct.  The only
other fault-like #DB is General Detect, and despite Intel and AMD both
strongly implying (through omission) that General Detect #DBs should set
RF=1, hardware (multiple generations of both Intel and AMD), in fact does
not.  Through insider knowledge, extreme foresight, sheer dumb luck, or
some combination thereof, KVM correctly handled RF for General Detect #DBs.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
