From: Sean Christopherson seanjc@google.com Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2021 17:02:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Clear KVM's cached guest CR3 at RESET/INIT

Explicitly zero the guest's CR3 and mark it available+dirty at RESET/INIT. Per Intel's SDM and AMD's APM, CR3 is zeroed at both RESET and INIT. For RESET, this is a nop as vcpu is zero-allocated. For INIT, the bug has likely escaped notice because no firmware/kernel puts its page tables root at PA=0, let alone relies on INIT to get the desired CR3 for such page tables.
