KVM: X86: Set host DR6 only on VMX and for KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT
Commit c77fb5fe6f03 ("KVM: x86: Allow the guest to run with dirty debug registers") allows the guest accessing to DRs without exiting when KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT and we need to ensure that they are synchronized on entry to the guest---including DR6 that was not synced before the commit. But the commit sets the hardware DR6 not only when KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT, but also when KVM_DEBUGREG_BP_ENABLED. The second case is unnecessary and just leads to a more case which leaks stale DR6 to the host which has to be resolved by unconditionally reseting DR6 in kvm_arch_vcpu_put(). Even if KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT, however, setting the host DR6 only matters on VMX because SVM always uses the DR6 value from the VMCB. So move this line to vmx.c and make it conditional on KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT. Reported-by: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshanlai@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
