Sean Christopherson 1957aa63be KVM: VMX: Handle single-step #DB for EMULTYPE_SKIP on EPT misconfig
VMX's EPT misconfig flow to handle fast-MMIO path falls back to decoding
the instruction to determine the instruction length when running as a
guest (Hyper-V doesn't fill VMCS.VM_EXIT_INSTRUCTION_LEN because it's
technically not defined for EPT misconfigs).  Rather than implement the
slow skip in VMX's generic skip_emulated_instruction(),
handle_ept_misconfig() directly calls kvm_emulate_instruction() with
EMULTYPE_SKIP, which intentionally doesn't do single-step detection, and
so handle_ept_misconfig() misses a single-step #DB.

Rework the EPT misconfig fallback case to route it through
kvm_skip_emulated_instruction() so that single-step #DBs and interrupt
shadow updates are handled automatically.  I.e. make VMX's slow skip
logic match SVM's and have the SVM flow not intentionally avoid the
shadow update.

Alternatively, the handle_ept_misconfig() could manually handle single-
step detection, but that results in EMULTYPE_SKIP having split logic for
the interrupt shadow vs. single-step #DBs, and split emulator logic is
largely what led to this mess in the first place.

Modifying SVM to mirror VMX flow isn't really an option as SVM's case
isn't limited to a specific exit reason, i.e. handling the slow skip in
skip_emulated_instruction() is mandatory for all intents and purposes.

Drop VMX's skip_emulated_instruction() wrapper since it can now fail,
and instead WARN if it fails unexpectedly, e.g. if exit_reason somehow
becomes corrupted.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
