KVM: x86: Don't update RIP or do single-step on faulting emulation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Don't advance RIP or inject a single-step #DB if emulation signals a
fault.  This logic applies to all state updates that are conditional on
clean retirement of the emulation instruction, e.g. updating RFLAGS was
previously handled by commit 38827db ("KVM: x86: Do not update
EFLAGS on faulting emulation").

Not advancing RIP is likely a nop, i.e. ctxt->eip isn't updated with
ctxt->_eip until emulation "retires" anyways.  Skipping #DB injection
fixes a bug reported by Andy Lutomirski where a #UD on SYSCALL due to
invalid state with EFLAGS.TF=1 would loop indefinitely due to emulation
overwriting the #UD with #DB and thus restarting the bad SYSCALL over
and over.
