Unconditionally check the validity of the incoming CR3 during nested VM-Enter/VM-Exit to avoid invoking kvm_read_cr3() in the common case where the guest isn't using PAE paging. If vmcs.GUEST_CR3 hasn't yet been cached (common case), kvm_read_cr3() will trigger a VMREAD. The VMREAD (~30 cycles) alone is likely slower than nested_cr3_valid() (~5 cycles if vcpu->arch.maxphyaddr gets a cache hit), and the poor exchange only gets worse when retpolines are enabled as the call to kvm_x86_ops.cache_reg() will incur a retpoline (60+ cycles).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
