Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] KVM: x86: Manually check DR4/5 write values to fix SVM intercept priority
Date: Wed,  3 Jun 2026 16:07:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603230718.1733483-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260603230718.1733483-1-seanjc@google.com>

Manually (pre)check the values being written to DR4/5, i.e. the DR6/DR7
aliases, instead of relying on ->set_dr() => kvm_set_dr() to signal a #GP.
SVM unfortunately prioritizes all exceptions over an instruction intercept,
i.e. nSVM is relying on the emulator to perform *all* exception checks
prior to attempting to execute the instruction.

Fixes: 3b88e41a4134 ("KVM: SVM: Add intercept check for accessing dr registers")
