Subject: [PATCH 5.10 224/236] Revert "KVM: x86: mmu: Add guest physical address check in translate_gpa()"

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@...gle.com>

commit e7177339d7b5f9594b316842122b5fda9513d5e2 upstream.

Revert a misguided illegal GPA check when "translating" a non-nested GPA.
The check is woefully incomplete as it does not fill in @exception as
expected by all callers, which leads to KVM attempting to inject a bogus
exception, potentially exposing kernel stack information in the process.

The bug has escaped notice because practically speaking the GPA check is
useless.  The GPA check in question only comes into play when KVM is
walking guest page tables (or "translating" CR3), and KVM already handles
illegal GPA checks by setting reserved bits in rsvd_bits_mask for each
PxE, or in the case of CR3 for loading PTDPTRs, manually checks for an
illegal CR3.  This particular failure doesn't hit the existing reserved
bits checks because syzbot sets guest.MAXPHYADDR=1, and IA32 architecture
simply doesn't allow for such an absurd MAXPHYADDR, e.g. 32-bit paging
doesn't define any reserved PA bits checks, which KVM emulates by only
incorporating the reserved PA bits into the "high" bits, i.e. bits 63:32.

Simply remove the bogus check.  There is zero meaningful value and no
architectural justification for supporting guest.MAXPHYADDR < 32, and
properly filling the exception would introduce non-trivial complexity.

This reverts commit ec7771ab471ba6a945350353617e2e3385d0e013.
