commit 0aa1837533e5f4be8cc21bbc06314c23ba2c5447 upstream.
Reset the MMU context at vCPU INIT (and RESET for good measure) if CR0.PG was set prior to INIT. Simply re-initializing the current MMU is not sufficient as the current root HPA may not be usable in the new context. E.g. if TDP is disabled and INIT arrives while the vCPU is in long mode, KVM will fail to switch to the 32-bit pae_root and bomb on the next VM-Enter due to running with a 64-bit CR3 in 32-bit mode.
This bug was papered over in both VMX and SVM, but still managed to rear its head in the MMU role on VMX. Because EFER.LMA=1 requires CR0.PG=1, kvm_calc_shadow_mmu_root_page_role() checks for EFER.LMA without first checking CR0.PG. VMX's RESET/INIT flow writes CR0 before EFER, and so an INIT with the vCPU in 64-bit mode will cause the hack-a-fix to generate the wrong MMU role.
In VMX, the INIT issue is specific to running without unrestricted guest since unrestricted guest is available if and only if EPT is enabled. Commit 8668a3c468ed ("KVM: VMX: Reset mmu context when entering real mode") resolved the issue by forcing a reset when entering emulated real mode.
In SVM, commit ebae871a509d ("kvm: svm: reset mmu on VCPU reset") forced a MMU reset on every INIT to workaround the flaw in common x86. Note, at the time the bug was fixed, the SVM problem was exacerbated by a complete lack of a CR4 update.
The vendor resets will be reverted in future patches, primarily to aid bisection in case there are non-INIT flows that rely on the existing VMX logic.
Because CR0.PG is unconditionally cleared on INIT, and because CR0.WP and all CR4/EFER paging bits are ignored if CR0.PG=0, simply checking that CR0.PG was '1' prior to INIT/RESET is sufficient to detect a required MMU context reset.
