Subject: [PATCH v5 05/12] KVM: x86: WARN if fixed-1 DR6 bits aren't already set when delivering payload
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 18:13:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930011313.3197688-6-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930011313.3197688-1-seanjc@google.com>

WARN if the fixed-1 bits in DR6 aren't already set when delivering a #DB
payload, as (stating the obvious) KVM should never clear fixed-1 bits.

Opportunistically switch to kvm_get_dr6_fixed_1() instead using the more
conservative DR6_FIXED_1, to ensure that bits that are fixed-1 from the
guest's perspective are indeed '1'.  In practice, this aspect should be a
glorified nop specifically because fixed-1 bits should already be set.
