[PATCH v2 4/5] KVM: x86: Snapshot the host's DEBUGCTL after disabling IRQs
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Feb 26 2025 - 20:14:39 EST
Snapshot the host's DEBUGCTL after disabling IRQs, as perf can toggle
debugctl bits from IRQ context, e.g. when enabling/disabling events via
smp_call_function_single(). Taking the snapshot (long) before IRQs are
disabled could result in KVM effectively clobbering DEBUGCTL due to using
a stale snapshot.
