Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: fix root cause for missed hardware breakpoints
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 12:46:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456487175-8648-1-git-send-email-pbonzini@redhat.com> (raw)
Commit 172b2386ed16 ("KVM: x86: fix missed hardware breakpoints",
2016-02-10) worked around a case where the debug registers are not loaded
correctly on preemption and on the first entry to KVM_RUN.
However, Xiao Guangrong pointed out that the root cause must be that
KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED is not being set correctly. This can indeed
happen due to the lazy debug exit mechanism, which does not call
kvm_update_dr7. Fix it by replacing the existing loop (more or less
equivalent to kvm_update_dr0123) with calls to all the kvm_update_dr*
functions.
The original patch is good enough for stable releases before 4.1, since
it does not have any dependencies such as commit ae561edeb421 ("KVM:
x86: DR0-DR3 are not clear on reset", 2015-04-02).
