Subject: KVM: x86: Set guest DR6 by kvm_queue_exception_p() in instruction emulation
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dfc1c4687e9cb33a53536a0cb7fc4011c419dd85;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

KVM: x86: Set guest DR6 by kvm_queue_exception_p() in instruction emulation

Record DR6 in emulate_db() and use kvm_queue_exception_p() to set DR6
instead of directly using kvm_set_dr6() in emulation, i.e. rely on the
standard exception path to set DR6 via kvm_deliver_exception_payload().
This keeps the handling of DR6 during #DB injection consistent with other
code paths.

No functional change intended.
