[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86emul: defer injection of #DB

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Move the raising of the single step trap until after registers were
updated. This should probably have been that way from the beginning,
to allow the inject_hw_exception() hook to see updated register state
(in case it cares) - it's a trap, after all.
