KVM: x86: respect singlestep when emulating instruction
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When userspace configures KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP, KVM will manage the
presence of X86_EFLAGS_TF via kvm_set/get_rflags on vcpus. The actual
rflag bit is therefore hidden from callers.

That includes init_emulate_ctxt() which uses the value returned from
kvm_get_flags() to set ctxt->tf. As a result, x86_emulate_instruction()
will skip a single step, leaving singlestep_rip stale and not returning
to userspace.

This resolves the issue by observing the vcpu guest_debug configuration
alongside ctxt->tf in x86_emulate_instruction(), performing the single
step if set.
