Subject: [PATCH v3 03/10] KVM: x86: Set guest DR6 by kvm_queue_exception_p() in instruction emulation
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 15:26:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515222638.1949982-4-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260515222638.1949982-1-seanjc@google.com>
From: Hou Wenlong <houwenlong.hwl@antgroup.com>
Record DR6 in emulate_db() and use kvm_queue_exception_p() to set DR6
instead of directly using kvm_set_dr6() in emulation, which keeps the
handling of DR6 during #DB injection consistent with other code paths.
No functional change intended.

[sean: fix e vs. p goof, add kvm_inject_emulated_db() right away]
