[PATCH v5 04/27] KVM: x86: Allow clearing RFLAGS.RF on forced emulation to test code #DBs

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Aug 30 2022 - 19:17:46 EST


Extend force_emulation_prefix to an 'int' and use bit 1 as a flag to
indicate that KVM should clear RFLAGS.RF before emulating, e.g. to allow
tests to force emulation of code breakpoints in conjunction with MOV/POP
SS blocking, which is impossible without KVM intervention as VMX
unconditionally sets RFLAGS.RF on intercepted #UD.

Make the behavior controllable so that tests can also test RFLAGS.RF=1
(again in conjunction with code #DBs).

Note, clearing RFLAGS.RF won't create an infinite #DB loop as the guest's
IRET from the #DB handler will return to the instruction and not the
prefix, i.e. the restart won't force emulation.

Opportunistically convert the permissions to the preferred octal format.
