[PATCH] KVM: selftests: Verify single-stepping a fastpath VM-Exit exits to userspace

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Fri Aug 30 2024 - 00:45:05 EST


In x86's debug_regs test, change the RDMSR(MISC_ENABLES) in the single-step
testcase to a WRMSR(TSC_DEADLINE) in order to verify that KVM honors
KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP when handling a fastpath VM-Exit.

Note, the extra coverage is effectively Intel-only, as KVM only handles
TSC_DEADLINE in the fastpath when the timer is emulated via the hypervisor
timer, a.k.a. the VMX preemption timer.
