Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Don't update RIP or do single-step on faulting emulation

Don't advance RIP or inject a single-step #DB if emulation signals a
fault.  This logic applies to all state updates that are conditional on
clean retirement of the emulation instruction, e.g. updating RFLAGS was
previously handled by commit 38827dbd3fb85 ("KVM: x86: Do not update
EFLAGS on faulting emulation").

Not advancing RIP is likely a nop, i.e. ctxt->eip isn't updated with
ctxt->_eip until emulation "retires" anyways.  Skipping #DB injection
fixes a bug reported by Andy Lutomirski where a #UD on SYSCALL due to
invalid state with RFLAGS.RF=1 would loop indefinitely due to emulation
overwriting the #UD with #DB and thus restarting the bad SYSCALL over
and over.

Note, this has minor conflict with my recent series to cleanup the
emulator return flows[*].  The end result should look something like:

                if (!ctxt->have_exception ||
                    exception_type(ctxt->exception.vector) == EXCPT_TRAP) {
                        kvm_rip_write(vcpu, ctxt->eip);
                        if (r && ctxt->tf)
                                r = kvm_vcpu_do_singlestep(vcpu);
                        __kvm_set_rflags(vcpu, ctxt->eflags);
                }
