svm_update_lbrv() is called when MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is updated, and on
nested transitions where LBRV is used. It checks whether LBRV enablement
needs to be changed in the current VMCB, and if it does, it also
recalculate intercepts to LBR MSRs.
However, there are cases where intercepts need to be updated even when
LBRV enablement doesn't. Example scenario:
- L1 has MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR cleared.
- L1 runs L2 without LBR_CTL_ENABLE (no LBRV).
- L2 sets DEBUGCTLMSR_LBR in MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR, svm_update_lbrv()
sets LBR_CTL_ENABLE in VMCB02 and disables intercepts to LBR MSRs.
- L2 exits to L1, svm_update_lbrv() is not called on this transition.
- L1 clears MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR, svm_update_lbrv() finds that
LBR_CTL_ENABLE is already cleared in VMCB01 and does nothing.
- Intercepts remain disabled, L1 reads to LBR MSRs read the host MSRs.
Fix it by always recalculating intercepts in svm_update_lbrv().

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 reStructuredText 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.
