[PATCH v5 07/27] KVM: nVMX: Prioritize TSS T-flag #DBs over Monitor Trap Flag

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

 



Service TSS T-flag #DBs prior to pending MTFs, as such #DBs are higher
priority than MTF.  KVM itself doesn't emulate TSS #DBs, and any such
exceptions injected from L1 will be handled by hardware (or morphed to
a fault-like exception if injection fails), but theoretically userspace
could pend a TSS T-flag #DB in conjunction with a pending MTF.

Note, there's no known use case this fixes, it's purely to be technically
correct with respect to Intel's SDM.
