[Qemu-devel] [QEMU PATCH v4 04/10] target/i386: kvm: Re-inject #DB to guest with updated DR6

[Liran Alon]

If userspace (QEMU) debug guest, when #DB is raised in guest and
intercepted by KVM, KVM forwards information on #DB to userspace
instead of injecting #DB to guest.
While doing so, KVM don't update vCPU DR6 but instead report the #DB DR6
value to userspace for further handling.
See KVM's handle_exception() DB_VECTOR handler.

QEMU handler for this case is kvm_handle_debug(). This handler basically
checks if #DB is related to one of user set hardware breakpoints and if
not, it re-inject #DB into guest.
The re-injection is done by setting env->exception_injected to #DB which
will later be passed as events.exception.nr to KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS ioctl
by kvm_put_vcpu_events().

However, in case userspace re-injects #DB, KVM expects userspace to set
vCPU DR6 as reported to userspace when #DB was intercepted! Otherwise,
KVM_REQ_EVENT handler will inject #DB with wrong DR6 to guest.

Fix this issue by updating vCPU DR6 appropriately when re-inject #DB to
guest.
