Right, but why is MSR_DE enabled during the exit path? If MSR_DE wasn't set, you wouldn't get a single step exit. During the exit code path, you could then swap DBSR back to what the host expects (which means no single step). Only after that enable MSR_DE again.

With this patch, you have

KVM_HANLDER:

  <code>
  __KVM_HANDLER

KVM_DBG_HANDLER:

  <code>
  __KVM_HANDLER

Right?

In KVM_HANDLER, you get:

> .macro KVM_HANDLER ivor_nr scratch srr0
> _GLOBAL(kvmppc_handler_\ivor_nr)
> 	/* Get pointer to vcpu and record exit number. */
> 	mtspr	\scratch , r4

> 	lwz     r4, THREAD_KVM_VCPU(r4)
> 	__KVM_HANDLER \ivor_nr \scratch \srr0
> .endm


while KVM_DBG_HANDLER is:

> +.macro KVM_DBG_HANDLER ivor_nr scratch srr0
> +_GLOBAL(kvmppc_handler_\ivor_nr)
>  <debug specific handling>
> +1:	/* debug interrupt happened in guest */

> +	__KVM_HANDLER \ivor_nr \scratch \srr0
> +.endm


So if you write this as

KVM_DBG_HANDLER:
	<debug specific handling>
	1:
	mtcr		r3
	mfspr	r4, SPRN_SPRG_THREAD
	lwz		r4, THREAD_KVM_VCPU(r4)
	lwz		r3, VCPU_CRIT_SAVE(r4)
	lwz		r4, \scratch
	<KVM_HANDLER>

then you get code that is slower :) but it should be easier to read, since the interface between the individual pieces is always the same. Debug shouldn't be a fast path anyway, right?
