KVM: X86: Ensure that dirty PDPTRs are loaded
[ Upstream commit 2c5653caecc4807b8abfe9c41880ac38417be7bf ]
For VMX with EPT, dirty PDPTRs need to be loaded before the next vmentry
via vmx_load_mmu_pgd()
But not all paths that call load_pdptrs() will cause vmx_load_mmu_pgd()
to be invoked. Normally, kvm_mmu_reset_context() is used to cause
KVM_REQ_LOAD_MMU_PGD, but sometimes it is skipped:
* commit d81135a57aa6("KVM: x86: do not reset mmu if CR0.CD and
CR0.NW are changed") skips kvm_mmu_reset_context() after load_pdptrs()
when changing CR0.CD and CR0.NW.
* commit 21823fbda552("KVM: x86: Invalidate all PGDs for the current
PCID on MOV CR3 w/ flush") skips KVM_REQ_LOAD_MMU_PGD after
load_pdptrs() when rewriting the CR3 with the same value.
* commit a91a7c709600("KVM: X86: Don't reset mmu context when
toggling X86_CR4_PGE") skips kvm_mmu_reset_context() after
load_pdptrs() when changing CR4.PGE.
