    KVM: x86: Split kvm_is_valid_cr4() and export only the non-vendor bits · c33f6f22
    Sean Christopherson authored
    Split the common x86 parts of kvm_is_valid_cr4(), i.e. the reserved bits
    checks, into a separate helper, __kvm_is_valid_cr4(), and export only the
    inner helper to vendor code in order to prevent nested VMX from calling
    back into vmx_is_valid_cr4() via kvm_is_valid_cr4().
    
    On SVM, this is a nop as SVM doesn't place any additional restrictions on
    CR4.
    
    On VMX, this is also currently a nop, but only because nested VMX is
    missing checks on reserved CR4 bits for nested VM-Enter.  That bug will
    be fixed in a future patch, and could simply use kvm_is_valid_cr4() as-is,
    but nVMX has _another_ bug where VMXON emulation doesn't enforce VMX's
    restrictions on CR0/CR4.  The cleanest and most intuitive way to fix the
    VMXON bug is to use nested_host_cr{0,4}_valid().  If the CR4 variant
    routes through kvm_is_valid_cr4(), using nested_host_cr4_valid() won't do
    the right thing for the VMXON case as vmx_is_valid_cr4() enforces VMX's
    restrictions if and only if the vCPU is post-VMXON.
