Subject: [PATCH 3.2 41/52] KVM: svm: unconditionally intercept #DB

3.2.74-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

commit cbdb967af3d54993f5814f1cee0ed311a055377d upstream.

This is needed to avoid the possibility that the guest triggers
an infinite stream of #DB exceptions (CVE-2015-8104).

VMX is not affected: because it does not save DR6 in the VMCS,
it already intercepts #DB unconditionally.

Reported-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@...e.com>
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>
[bwh: Backported to 3.2: #DB and #BP did not share a function, and there is
 no operation pointer referring to it, so remove update_db_intercept()
 entirely]
