Sean Christopherson 815403a6ea KVM: nVMX: Always write vmcs02.GUEST_CR3 during nested VM-Enter
commit 04f11ef45810da5ae2542dd78cc353f3761bd2cb upstream.

Write the desired L2 CR3 into vmcs02.GUEST_CR3 during nested VM-Enter
instead of deferring the VMWRITE until vmx_set_cr3().  If the VMWRITE
is deferred, then KVM can consume a stale vmcs02.GUEST_CR3 when it
refreshes vmcs12->guest_cr3 during nested_vmx_vmexit() if the emulated
VM-Exit occurs without actually entering L2, e.g. if the nested run
is squashed because nested VM-Enter (from L1) is putting L2 into HLT.

Note, the above scenario can occur regardless of whether L1 is
intercepting HLT, e.g. L1 can intercept HLT and then re-enter L2 with
vmcs.GUEST_ACTIVITY_STATE=HALTED.  But practically speaking, a VMM will
likely put a guest into HALTED if and only if it's not intercepting HLT.

In an ideal world where EPT *requires* unrestricted guest (and vice
versa), VMX could handle CR3 similar to how it handles RSP and RIP,
e.g. mark CR3 dirty and conditionally load it at vmx_vcpu_run().  But
the unrestricted guest silliness complicates the dirty tracking logic
to the point that explicitly handling vmcs02.GUEST_CR3 during nested
VM-Enter is a simpler overall implementation.

README

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.
