Sean Christopherson 40928ae223 KVM: x86: Properly reset MMU context at vCPU RESET/INIT 
commit 0aa1837533 upstream.

Reset the MMU context at vCPU INIT (and RESET for good measure) if CR0.PG
was set prior to INIT.  Simply re-initializing the current MMU is not
sufficient as the current root HPA may not be usable in the new context.
E.g. if TDP is disabled and INIT arrives while the vCPU is in long mode,
KVM will fail to switch to the 32-bit pae_root and bomb on the next
VM-Enter due to running with a 64-bit CR3 in 32-bit mode.

This bug was papered over in both VMX and SVM, but still managed to rear
its head in the MMU role on VMX.  Because EFER.LMA=1 requires CR0.PG=1,
kvm_calc_shadow_mmu_root_page_role() checks for EFER.LMA without first
checking CR0.PG.  VMX's RESET/INIT flow writes CR0 before EFER, and so
an INIT with the vCPU in 64-bit mode will cause the hack-a-fix to
generate the wrong MMU role.

In VMX, the INIT issue is specific to running without unrestricted guest
since unrestricted guest is available if and only if EPT is enabled.
Commit 8668a3c468 ("KVM: VMX: Reset mmu context when entering real
mode") resolved the issue by forcing a reset when entering emulated real
mode.

In SVM, commit ebae871a50 ("kvm: svm: reset mmu on VCPU reset") forced
a MMU reset on every INIT to workaround the flaw in common x86.  Note, at
the time the bug was fixed, the SVM problem was exacerbated by a complete
lack of a CR4 update.

The vendor resets will be reverted in future patches, primarily to aid
bisection in case there are non-INIT flows that rely on the existing VMX
logic.

Because CR0.PG is unconditionally cleared on INIT, and because CR0.WP and
all CR4/EFER paging bits are ignored if CR0.PG=0, simply checking that
CR0.PG was '1' prior to INIT/RESET is sufficient to detect a required MMU
context reset.

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.
