Subject: [PATCH v2 00/17] KVM: x86/mmu: Lots of bug fixes

Fix nested NPT (nSVM) with 32-bit L1 and SME with shadow paging, which
are completely broken.  Opportunistically fix theoretical bugs related to
prematurely reloading/unloading the MMU.

If nNPT is enabled, L1 can crash the host simply by using 32-bit NPT to
trigger a null pointer dereference on pae_root.

SME with shadow paging (including nNPT) fails to set the C-bit in the
shadow pages that don't go through standard MMU flows (PDPTPRs and the
PML4 used by nNPT to shadow legacy NPT).  It also failes to account for
CR3[63:32], and thus the C-bit, being ignored outside of 64-bit mode.

Patches 01 and 02 fix the null pointer bugs.

Patches 03-09 fix mostly-benign related memory leaks.

Patches 10-12 fix the SME shadow paging bugs, which are also what led me to
the nNPT null pointer bugs.

Patches 13 and 14 fix theoretical bugs with PTP_SWITCH and INVPCID that
I found when auditing flows that touch the MMU context.

Patches 14-17 do additional clean up to hopefully make it harder to
introduce bugs in the future.

On the plus side, I finally understand why KVM supports shadowing 2-level
page tables with 4-level page tables...

Based on kvm/queue, commit fe5f0041c026 ("KVM/SVM: Move vmenter.S exception
fixups out of line").  The null pointer fixes cherry-pick cleanly onto
kvm/master, haven't tried the other bug fixes (I doubt they're worth
backporting even though I tagged 'em with stable).

v2:
  - Collect a review from Ben (did not include his review of patch 03
    since the patch and its direct dependencies were changed).
  - Move pae_root and lm_root allocation to a separate helper to avoid
    sleeping via get_zeroed_page() while holding mmu_lock.
  - Add a patch to grab 'mmu' in a local variable.
  - Remove the BUILD_BUG_ON() in make_mmu_pages_available() since the
    final check wouldn't actually guarnatee 4 pages were "available".
    Instead, add a comment about the limit being soft.
