[PATCH 2/3] KVM: svm: unconditionally intercept #DB

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Tue Nov 10 2015 - 07:24:31 EST


This is needed to avoid the possibility that the guest triggers
an infinite stream of #DB exceptions (CVE-2015-8104).

VMX is not affected: because it does not save DR6 in the VMCS,
it already intercepts #DB unconditionally.
