Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Fix single-step debugging
The single-step debugging of KVM guests on x86 is broken: if we run
gdb 'stepi' command at the breakpoint when the guest interrupts are
enabled, RIP always jumps to native_apic_mem_write(). Then other
nasty effects follow.
Long investigation showed that the commit c8401dda2f0a00cd25c0 (Jun 7 2017)
introduced the kvm_run.debug corruption: kvm_vcpu_do_singlestep() can
be called without X86_EFLAGS_TF set.
Let's fix it. Please consider that for -stable.
