Subject: [PATCH 5.10 109/120] x86/debug: Prevent data breakpoints on cpu_dr7

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...ux.alibaba.com>

commit 3943abf2dbfae9ea4d2da05c1db569a0603f76da upstream.

local_db_save() is called at the start of exc_debug_kernel(), reads DR7 and
disables breakpoints to prevent recursion.

When running in a guest (X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR), local_db_save() reads the
per-cpu variable cpu_dr7 to check whether a breakpoint is active or not
before it accesses DR7.

A data breakpoint on cpu_dr7 therefore results in infinite #DB recursion.

Disallow data breakpoints on cpu_dr7 to prevent that.

Fixes: 84b6a3491567a("x86/entry: Optimize local_db_save() for virt")
