According to section "Checks on Guest Control Registers, Debug Registers, and

      contain a canonical address."

Don't the hardware checks on the corresponding vmcs02 fields suffice
in this case?

In prepare_vmcs02(), we have the following code:

        if (vmx->nested.dirty_vmcs12 || hv_evmcs) {
                prepare_vmcs02_rare(vmx, vmcs12);

If vmcs12 is dirty, we are setting these two fields from vmcs12 and I thought the values needed to be checked in software. Did I miss something ?


         if ((vmcs12->vm_entry_controls & VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_PAT) &&
             CC(!kvm_pat_valid(vmcs12->guest_ia32_pat)))
                 return -EINVAL;
