Sean Christopherson 2916b70fc3 KVM: VMX: Reset eVMCS controls in VP assist page during hardware disabling
Reset the eVMCS controls in the per-CPU VP assist page during hardware
disabling instead of waiting until kvm-intel's module exit.  The controls
are activated if and only if KVM creates a VM, i.e. don't need to be
reset if hardware is never enabled.

Doing the reset during hardware disabling will naturally fix a potential
NULL pointer deref bug once KVM disables CPU hotplug while enabling and
disabling hardware (which is necessary to fix a variety of bugs).  If the
kernel is running as the root partition, the VP assist page is unmapped
during CPU hot unplug, and so KVM's clearing of the eVMCS controls needs
to occur with CPU hot(un)plug disabled, otherwise KVM could attempt to
write to a CPU's VP assist page after it's unmapped.

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.
