Subject: [PATCH 4.19 52/71] kvm: x86: Toggling CR4.SMAP does not load PDPTEs in PAE mode

From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 427890aff8558eb4326e723835e0eae0e6fe3102 ]

See the SDM, volume 3, section 4.4.1:

If PAE paging would be in use following an execution of MOV to CR0 or
MOV to CR4 (see Section 4.1.1) and the instruction is modifying any of
CR0.CD, CR0.NW, CR0.PG, CR4.PAE, CR4.PGE, CR4.PSE, or CR4.SMEP; then
the PDPTEs are loaded from the address in CR3.
