    KVM: x86/mmu: Bug the VM if a vCPU ends up in long mode without PAE enabled · 72e2fb24
    Sean Christopherson authored
    Promote the ASSERT(), which is quite dead code in KVM, into a KVM_BUG_ON()
    for KVM's sanity check that CR4.PAE=1 if the vCPU is in long mode when
    performing a walk of guest page tables.  The sanity is quite cheap since
    neither EFER nor CR4.PAE requires a VMREAD, especially relative to the
    cost of walking the guest page tables.
    
    More importantly, the sanity check would have prevented the true badness
    fixed by commit 112e6601 ("KVM: nVMX: add missing consistency checks
    for CR0 and CR4").  The missed consistency check resulted in some versions
    of KVM corrupting the on-stack guest_walker structure due to KVM thinking
    there are 4/5 levels of page tables, but wiring up the MMU hooks to point
    at the paging32 implementation, which only allocates space for two levels
    of page tables in "struct guest_walker32".
    
    Queue a page fault for injection if the assertion fails, as both callers,
    FNAME(gva_to_gpa) and FNAME(walk_addr_generic), assume that walker.fault
    contains sane info on a walk failure.  E.g. not populating the fault info
    could result in KVM consuming and/or exposing uninitialized stack data
    before the vCPU is kicked out to userspace, which doesn't happen until
    KVM checks for KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD on the next enter.
    
    Move the check below the initialization of "pte_access" so that the
    aforementioned to-be-injected page fault doesn't consume uninitialized
    stack data.  The information _shouldn't_ reach the guest or userspace,
    but there's zero downside to being paranoid in this case.
