According to APM, the #DB intercept for a single-stepped VMRUN must happen after the completion of that instruction, when the guest does #VMEXIT to the host. However, in the current implementation of KVM, the #DB intercept for a single-stepped VMRUN happens after the completion of the instruction that follows the VMRUN instruction. When the #DB intercept handler is invoked, it shows the RIP of the instruction that follows VMRUN, instead of of VMRUN itself. This is an incorrect RIP as far as single-stepping VMRUN is concerned. This patch fixes the problem by checking, in nested_svm_vmexit(), for the condition that the VMRUN instruction is being single-stepped and if so, queues the pending #DB intercept so that the #DB is accounted for before we execute L1's next instruction.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
