KVM: x86/mmu: Refresh CR0.WP prior to checking for emulated permission faults
[ Upstream commit cf9f4c0eb1699d306e348b1fd0225af7b2c282d3 ]
Refresh the MMU's snapshot of the vCPU's CR0.WP prior to checking for
permission faults when emulating a guest memory access and CR0.WP may be
guest owned. If the guest toggles only CR0.WP and triggers emulation of
a supervisor write, e.g. when KVM is emulating UMIP, KVM may consume a
stale CR0.WP, i.e. use stale protection bits metadata.
Note, KVM passes through CR0.WP if and only if EPT is enabled as CR0.WP
is part of the MMU role for legacy shadow paging, and SVM (NPT) doesn't
support per-bit interception controls for CR0. Don't bother checking for
EPT vs. NPT as the "old == new" check will always be true under NPT, i.e.
the only cost is the read of vcpu->arch.cr4 (SVM unconditionally grabs CR0
from the VMCB on VM-Exit).
