[PATCH 5.17 0951/1126] KVM: x86: Reinitialize context if host userspace toggles EFER.LME

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Apr 05 2022 - 06:49:21 EST


From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d6174299365ddbbf491620c0b8c5ca1a6ef2eea5 upstream.

While the guest runs, EFER.LME cannot change unless CR0.PG is clear, and
therefore EFER.NX is the only bit that can affect the MMU role. However,
set_efer accepts a host-initiated change to EFER.LME even with CR0.PG=1.
In that case, the MMU has to be reset.

Fixes: 11988499e62b ("KVM: x86: Skip EFER vs. guest CPUID checks for host-initiated writes")
