The problem is that none of this is documented.

Amongst other things, the vmentry consistency check misses the case when
#DB really is pending in ENTRY_INTR_INFO.


It is very clear that to use VT-x/SVM correctly, required reading
includes the core microcode and RTL, which of course all of us have
access to...

It is more complicated than this and undocumented.  Single step is
discard in a shadow, while data breakpoints are deferred.

I've just run an experiment with code breakpoints, as they're faults
like General Detect:

bool do_unhandled_exception(struct cpu_regs *regs)
{
    static int limit;

    if ( limit++ > 10 )
        return false;

    if ( regs->entry_vector == X86_EXC_DB )
    {
        unsigned int pending_dbg = read_dr6() ^ X86_DR6_DEFAULT;
        unsigned int dr7 = read_dr7(), spurious = 0;

        for ( int i = 0; i < 4; ++i )
            if ( pending_dbg & (1 << i) && ((dr7 >> (2 * i)) & 3) == 0 )
                spurious |= (1 << i);

        printk("#DB at %04x:%p, pending %08x, spurious %x\n",
               regs->cs, _p(regs->ip), pending_dbg ^ spurious, spurious);
        write_dr6(X86_DR6_DEFAULT);

        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

void test_main(void)
{
    extern char l0[] asm ("0f"), l1[] asm ("1f");
    extern char l2[] asm ("2f"), l3[] asm ("3f");
    unsigned int tmp;

    write_cr4(read_cr4() | X86_CR4_DE);

    write_dr0(_u(l0));
    write_dr1(_u(l1));
    write_dr2(_u(l2));
    write_dr3(_u(l3));

    write_dr7(/* DR7_SYM(0, G, X) | */
              /* DR7_SYM(1, G, X) | */
              DR7_SYM(2, G, X) |
              /* DR7_SYM(3, G, X) | */
              X86_DR7_GE);

    asm volatile("mov %%ss, %[tmp];"
                 "pushf;"
                 "pushf;"
                 "orl $"STR(X86_EFLAGS_TF)", (%%"_ASM_SP");"

                 "1: mov %[tmp], %%ss;"
                 "2: nop;"

Success: Not vulnerable to XSA-308

which suggests that the active code breakpoint in the MovSS shadow is
discarded too, because of no #DB on the 0x1048e2 boundary.

This test is obscured by another bug/misfeature/something where the
B{0..3} get lost on vmexit if BT is also set.

Howso?  MovSS prevents external interrupts from triggering task
switches, but instruction sources still trigger in a shadow.

Other sources of #DB include RTM debugging, with errata causing a
fault-style #DB pointing at the XBEGIN instruction, rather than
vectoring to the abort handler, and splitlock which is new since I last
thought about this problem.

As I recall, the original report to the security team was something
along the lines of "Steam has just updated game, and now when I start
it, the VM explodes".

This URL is at the whim of doxygen and not necessarily stable.

https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xtf.git;a=blob;f=tests/xsa-308/main.c
ought to have better longevity, as well as including test description.
