    KVM: x86: respect singlestep when emulating instruction · 384dea1c
    Felipe Franciosi authored
    When userspace configures KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP, KVM will manage the
    presence of X86_EFLAGS_TF via kvm_set/get_rflags on vcpus. The actual
    rflag bit is therefore hidden from callers.
    
    That includes init_emulate_ctxt() which uses the value returned from
    kvm_get_flags() to set ctxt->tf. As a result, x86_emulate_instruction()
    will skip a single step, leaving singlestep_rip stale and not returning
    to userspace.
    
    This resolves the issue by observing the vcpu guest_debug configuration
    alongside ctxt->tf in x86_emulate_instruction(), performing the single
    step if set.
