When KVM emulates an exit from L2 to L1, it loads L1 CR4 into the
guest CR4. Before this CR4 loading, the guest CR4 refers to L2
CR4. Because these two CR4's are in different levels of guest, we
should vmx_set_cr4() rather than kvm_set_cr4() here. The latter, which
is used to handle guest writes to its CR4, checks the guest change to
CR4 and may fail if the change is invalid.
The failure may cause trouble. Consider we start
a L1 guest with non-zero L1 PCID in use,
(i.e. L1 CR4.PCIDE == 1 && L1 CR3.PCID != 0)
and
a L2 guest with L2 PCID disabled,
(i.e. L2 CR4.PCIDE == 0)
and following events may happen:
1. If kvm_set_cr4() is used in load_vmcs12_host_state() to load L1 CR4
into guest CR4 (in VMCS01) for L2 to L1 exit, it will fail because
of PCID check. As a result, the guest CR4 recorded in L0 KVM (i.e.
vcpu->arch.cr4) is left to the value of L2 CR4.
2. Later, if L1 attempts to change its CR4, e.g., clearing VMXE bit,
kvm_set_cr4() in L0 KVM will think L1 also wants to enable PCID,
because the wrong L2 CR4 is used by L0 KVM as L1 CR4. As L1
CR3.PCID != 0, L0 KVM will inject GP to L1 guest.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
