[PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: arm64: Fix bugs of single-step execution enabled by userspace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series fixes two bugs of single-step execution enabled by
userspace, and add a test case for KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP to
the debug-exception test to verify the single-step behavior.

Patch 1 fixes a bug that KVM might unintentionally change PSTATE.SS
for the guest when single-step execution is enabled for the vCPU by
userspace.

Patch 2 fixes a bug that KVM could erroneously perform an extra
single step (without returning to userspace) due to setting PSTATE.SS
to 1 on every guest entry, when single-step execution is enabled for
the vCPU by userspace.

Patch 3-4 adds a test for KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP to the
debug-exception test to verify the single-step behavior.

The series is based on 6.0-rc5.

v2:
 - Change kvm_handle_guest_debug() to use switch/case statement [Marc]
 - Clear PSTATE.SS on guest entry if the Software step state at the
   last guest exit was "Active-pending" to make DBG_SS_ACTIVE_PENDING
   and PSTATE.SS consistent [Marc]
 - Add a fix to preserve PSTATE.SS for the guest.
