[PATCH 4.14 044/211] KVM: nVMX: reset cache/shadows when switching loaded VMCS

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 27 2019 - 15:47:50 EST


From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b7031fd40fcc741b0f9b0c04c8d844e445858b84 ]

Reset the vm_{entry,exit}_controls_shadow variables as well as the
segment cache after loading a new VMCS in vmx_switch_vmcs(). The
shadows/cache track VMCS data, i.e. they're stale every time we
switch to a new VMCS regardless of reason.

This fixes a bug where stale control shadows would be consumed after
a nested VMExit due to a failed consistency check.
