[RFC PATCH 1/2] kvm/x86: intercept guest changes to X86_CR4_LA57

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Mon Sep 28 2020 - 03:30:27 EST


From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When shadowpaping is enabled, guest should not be allowed
to toggle X86_CR4_LA57. And X86_CR4_LA57 is a rarely changed
bit, so we can just intercept all the attempts to toggle it
no matter shadowpaping is in used or not.

Fixes: fd8cb433734ee ("KVM: MMU: Expose the LA57 feature to VM.")

No test to toggle X86_CR4_LA57 in guest since I can't access to
any CPU supports it. Maybe it is not a real problem.
