Subject: [129/139] KVM: VMX: Update instruction length on intercepted BP

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@...mens.com>

(Cherry-picked from commit c573cd22939e54fc1b8e672054a505048987a7cb)

We intercept #BP while in guest debugging mode. As VM exits due to
intercepted exceptions do not necessarily come with valid
idt_vectoring, we have to update event_exit_inst_len explicitly in such
cases. At least in the absence of migration, this ensures that
re-injections of #BP will find and use the correct instruction length.
