KVM: X86: Ensure that dirty PDPTRs are loaded
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 2c5653c ]

For VMX with EPT, dirty PDPTRs need to be loaded before the next vmentry
via vmx_load_mmu_pgd()

But not all paths that call load_pdptrs() will cause vmx_load_mmu_pgd()
to be invoked.  Normally, kvm_mmu_reset_context() is used to cause
KVM_REQ_LOAD_MMU_PGD, but sometimes it is skipped:

* commit d81135a("KVM: x86: do not reset mmu if CR0.CD and
CR0.NW are changed") skips kvm_mmu_reset_context() after load_pdptrs()
when changing CR0.CD and CR0.NW.

* commit 21823fb("KVM: x86: Invalidate all PGDs for the current
PCID on MOV CR3 w/ flush") skips KVM_REQ_LOAD_MMU_PGD after
load_pdptrs() when rewriting the CR3 with the same value.

* commit a91a7c7("KVM: X86: Don't reset mmu context when
toggling X86_CR4_PGE") skips kvm_mmu_reset_context() after
load_pdptrs() when changing CR4.PGE.
