[PATCH] KVM: x86: emulator injects #DB when RFLAGS.RF is set

From: Nadav Amit
Date: Wed Jul 16 2014 - 18:19:59 EST


If the RFLAGS.RF is set, then no #DB should occur on instruction breakpoints.
However, the KVM emulator injects #DB regardless to RFLAGS.RF. This patch fixes
this behavior. KVM, however, still appears not to update RFLAGS.RF correctly,
regardless of this patch.
