[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] kvm: x86: Prevent sign extension of DR7 in guest debugging mode

[Jan Kiszka]

From: Jan Kiszka <address@hidden>

This unbreaks guest debugging when the 4th hardware breakpoint used for
guest debugging is a watchpoint of 4 or 8 byte lenght. The 31st bit of
DR7 is set in that case and used to cause a sign extension to the high
word which was breaking the guest state (vm entry failure).
