[PATCH 1/5] KVM: nVMX: Invoke ept_save_pdptrs() if and only if PAE paging is enabled

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Wed Apr 15 2020 - 16:35:08 EST


Invoke ept_save_pdptrs() when restoring L1's host state on a "late"
VM-Fail if and only if PAE paging is enabled. This saves a CALL in the
common case where L1 is a 64-bit host, and avoids incorrectly marking
the PDPTRs as dirty.

WARN if ept_save_pdptrs() is called with PAE disabled now that the
nested usage pre-checks is_pae_paging(). Barring a bug in KVM's MMU,
attempting to read the PDPTRs with PAE disabled is now impossible.
