KVM: x86: avoid calling x86 emulator without a decoded instruction
Whenever x86_decode_emulated_instruction() detects a breakpoint, it
returns the value that kvm_vcpu_check_breakpoint() writes into its
pass-by-reference second argument. Unfortunately this is completely
bogus because the expected outcome of x86_decode_emulated_instruction
is an EMULATION_* value.
Then, if kvm_vcpu_check_breakpoint() does "*r = 0" (corresponding to
a KVM_EXIT_DEBUG userspace exit), it is misunderstood as EMULATION_OK
and x86_emulate_instruction() is called without having decoded the
instruction. This causes various havoc from running with a stale
emulation context.
The fix is to move the call to kvm_vcpu_check_breakpoint() where it was
before commit 4aa2691 ("KVM: x86: Factor out x86 instruction
emulation with decoding") introduced x86_decode_emulated_instruction().
The other caller of the function does not need breakpoint checks,
because it is invoked as part of a vmexit and the processor has already
checked those before executing the instruction that #GP'd.
This fixes CVE-2022-1852.
