When userspace configures KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP, KVM will manage the presence of X86_EFLAGS_TF via kvm_set/get_rflags on vcpus. The actual rflag bit is therefore hidden from callers. That includes init_emulate_ctxt() which uses the value returned from kvm_get_flags() to set ctxt->tf. As a result, x86_emulate_instruction() will skip a single step, leaving singlestep_rip stale and not returning to userspace. This resolves the issue by observing the vcpu guest_debug configuration alongside ctxt->tf in x86_emulate_instruction(), performing the single step if set.

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.
