This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled KVM: nVMX: add missing consistency checks for CR0 and CR4 to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kvm-nvmx-add-missing-consistency-checks-for-cr0-and-cr4.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 112e66017bff7f2837030f34c2bc19501e9212d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 11:10:56 -0500 Subject: KVM: nVMX: add missing consistency checks for CR0 and CR4 From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 112e66017bff7f2837030f34c2bc19501e9212d5 upstream. The effective values of the guest CR0 and CR4 registers may differ from those included in the VMCS12. In particular, disabling EPT forces CR4.PAE=1 and disabling unrestricted guest mode forces CR0.PG=CR0.PE=1. Therefore, checks on these bits cannot be delegated to the processor and must be performed by KVM.
