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 commit38827dbd3f("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 EFLAGS.TF=1 would loop indefinitely due to emulation overwriting the #UD with #DB and thus restarting the bad SYSCALL over and over.

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.
