kvm: vmx: Flush TLB when the APIC-access address changes

Browse source

Quoting from the Intel SDM, volume 3, section 28.3.3.4: Guidelines for
Use of the INVEPT Instruction:

If EPT was in use on a logical processor at one time with EPTP X, it
is recommended that software use the INVEPT instruction with the
"single-context" INVEPT type and with EPTP X in the INVEPT descriptor
before a VM entry on the same logical processor that enables EPT with
EPTP X and either (a) the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution
control was changed from 0 to 1; or (b) the value of the APIC-access
address was changed.

In the nested case, the burden falls on L1, unless L0 enables EPT in
vmcs02 when L1 doesn't enable EPT in vmcs12.
