From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: alex.bennee@linaro.org (=?UTF-8?q?Alex=20Benn=C3=A9e?=) Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2018 17:10:31 +0000 Subject: [RFC PATCH] KVM: arm64: don't single-step for non-emulated faults Message-ID: <20181107171031.22573-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Not all faults handled by handle_exit are instruction emulations. For example a ESR_ELx_EC_IABT will result in the page tables being updated but the instruction that triggered the fault hasn't actually executed yet. We use the simple heuristic of checking for a changed PC before seeing if kvm_arm_handle_step_debug wants to claim we stepped an instruction.
