[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.3 203/203] kvm: Nested KVM MMUs need PAE root too

From: Sasha Levin

[ Upstream commit 1cfff4d9a5d01fa61e5768a6afffc81ae1c8ecb9 ]

On AMD processors, in PAE 32bit mode, nested KVM instances don't
work. The L0 host get a kernel OOPS, which is related to
arch.mmu->pae_root being NULL.

The reason for this is that when setting up nested KVM instance,
arch.mmu is set to &arch.guest_mmu (while normally, it would be
&arch.root_mmu). However, the initialization and allocation of
pae_root only creates it in root_mmu. KVM code (ie. in
mmu_alloc_shadow_roots) then accesses arch.mmu->pae_root, which is the
unallocated arch.guest_mmu->pae_root.

This fix just allocates (and frees) pae_root in both guest_mmu and
root_mmu (and also lm_root if it was allocated). The allocation is
subject to previous restrictions ie. it won't allocate anything on
64-bit and AFAIK not on Intel.
