The question was just whether this was a userspace-visible change, and it isn't. FWIW, I think dbsr should be visible to userspace in general (regardless of whether it's cleared here), because all guest registers should be visible to userspace. I may be debugging a guest through means that don't require owning debug resources, such as stopping and inspecting a guest that has hung or crashed. -Scott -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm-ppc" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Do you mean that we should also add a one-reg interface for DBSR ? Thanks -Bharat > > -Scott >

Dbsr is not visible to userspace and we do not think any need to expose this to userspace because: Userspace cannot inject debug interrupt to guest (as this does not know guest ability to handle debug interrupt), so userspace will always clear DBSR. Now if userspace has to always clear DBSR in KVM_EXIT_DEBUG handling then clearing dbsr in kernel looks simple as this avoid doing SET_SREGS/set_one_reg() to clear DBSR Signed-off-by: Bharat Bhushan <Bharat.Bhushan@freescale.com> --- arch/powerpc/kvm/booke.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+)
