+Subject: KVM: svm: unconditionally intercept #DB
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/cbdb967af3d54993f5814f1cee0ed311a055377d
+
+This is needed to avoid the possibility that the guest triggers
+an infinite stream of #DB exceptions (CVE-2015-8104).
+
+VMX is not affected: because it does not save DR6 in the VMCS,
+it already intercepts #DB unconditionally.
