The commit efdab99281 ("KVM: x86: fix escape of guest dr6 to the host")
fixed a bug by resetting DR6 unconditionally when the vcpu being scheduled out.
But writing to debug registers is slow, and it can be visible in perf results
sometimes, even if neither the host nor the guest activate breakpoints.
Since KVM_DEBUGREG_WONT_EXIT on Intel processors is the only case
where DR6 gets the guest value, and it never happens at all on SVM,
the register can be cleared in vmx.c right after reading it.

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.
