KVM: nVMX: Inject #GP, not #UD, if "generic" VMXON CR0/CR4 check fails
Inject #GP for if VMXON is attempting with a CR0/CR4 that fails the generic "is CRx valid" check, but passes the CR4.VMXE check, and do the generic checks _after_ handling the post-VMXON VM-Fail. The CR4.VMXE check, and all other #UD cases, are special pre-conditions that are enforced prior to pivoting on the current VMX mode, i.e. occur before interception if VMXON is attempted in VMX non-root mode. All other CR0/CR4 checks generate #GP and effectively have lower priority than the post-VMXON check. Per the SDM: IF (register operand) or (CR0.PE = 0) or (CR4.VMXE = 0) or ... THEN #UD; ELSIF not in VMX operation THEN IF (CPL > 0) or (in A20M mode) or (the values of CR0 and CR4 are not supported in VMX operation) THEN #GP(0); ELSIF in VMX non-root operation THEN VMexit; ELSIF CPL > 0 THEN #GP(0); ELSE VMfail("VMXON executed in VMX root operation"); FI; which, if re-written without ELSIF, yields: IF (register operand) or (CR0.PE = 0) or (CR4.VMXE = 0) or ... THEN #UD IF in VMX non-root operation THEN VMexit; IF CPL > 0 THEN #GP(0) IF in VMX operation THEN VMfail("VMXON executed in VMX root operation"); IF (in A20M mode) or (the values of CR0 and CR4 are not supported in VMX operation) THEN #GP(0); Note, KVM unconditionally forwards VMXON VM-Exits that occur in L2 to L1, i.e. there is no need to check the vCPU is not in VMX non-root mode. Add a comment to explain why unconditionally forwarding such exits is functionally correct.
