[PATCH] KVM: x86: Don't attempt to load PDPTRs when 64-bit mode is enabled

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Mon Jul 13 2020 - 21:57:56 EST


Don't attempt to load PDPTRs if EFER.LME=1, i.e. if 64-bit mode is
enabled. A recent change to reload the PDTPRs when CR0.CD or CR0.NW is
toggled botched the EFER.LME handling and sends KVM down the PDTPR path
when is_paging() is true, i.e. when the guest toggles CD/NW in 64-bit
mode.

Split the CR0 checks for 64-bit vs. 32-bit PAE into separate paths. The
64-bit path is specifically checking state when paging is toggled on,
i.e. CR0.PG transititions from 0->1. The PDPTR path now needs to run if
the new CR0 state has paging enabled, irrespective of whether paging was
already enabled. Trying to shave a few cycles to make the PDPTR path an
"else if" case is a mess.

The other way to fix this, with a much smaller diff stat, is to simply
move the !is_page(vcpu) check inside (vcpu->arch.efer & EFER_LME). But
that results in a ridiculous amount of nested conditionals for what is a
very straightforward check e.g.

if (cr0 & X86_CR0_PG) {
if (vcpu->arch.efer & EFER_LME) }
if (!is_paging(vcpu)) {
...
}
}
}

Since this doesn't need to be backported anywhere, I didn't see any value
in having an intermediate step.
