commit c7d855c2aff2d511fd60ee2e356134c4fb394799 upstream.
Inject a #UD if L1 attempts VMXON with a CR0 or CR4 that is disallowed per the associated nested VMX MSRs' fixed0/1 settings. KVM cannot rely on hardware to perform the checks, even for the few checks that have higher priority than VM-Exit, as (a) KVM may have forced CR0/CR4 bits in hardware while running the guest, (b) there may incompatible CR0/CR4 bits that have lower priority than VM-Exit, e.g. CR0.NE, and (c) userspace may have further restricted the allowed CR0/CR4 values by manipulating the guest's nested VMX MSRs.
Note, despite a very strong desire to throw shade at Jim, commit 70f3aac964ae ("kvm: nVMX: Remove superfluous VMX instruction fault checks") is not to blame for the buggy behavior (though the comment...). That commit only removed the CR0.PE, EFLAGS.VM, and COMPATIBILITY mode checks (though it did erroneously drop the CPL check, but that has already been remedied). KVM may force CR0.PE=1, but will do so only when also forcing EFLAGS.VM=1 to emulate Real Mode, i.e. hardware will still #UD.
