Subject: [PATCH 01/15] KVM: X86: Ensure the dirty PDPTEs to be loaded

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...ux.alibaba.com>

For VMX, the dirty PDPTEs needs to be loaded before the coming VMENTER
via vmx_load_mmu_pgd() if EPT is enabled.

But not all paths that call load_pdptrs() will cause vmx_load_mmu_pgd()
to be invoked.  Normally, kvm_mmu_reset_context() and KVM_REQ_LOAD_MMU_PGD
are used to launch later vmx_load_mmu_pgd().

The commit d81135a57aa6("KVM: x86: do not reset mmu if CR0.CD and
CR0.NW are changed") skips kvm_mmu_reset_context() after load_pdptrs()
when changing CR0.CD and CR0.NW.

The commit 21823fbda552("KVM: x86: Invalidate all PGDs for the current
PCID on MOV CR3 w/ flush") skips KVM_REQ_LOAD_MMU_PGD after
load_pdptrs() when rewriting the CR3 with the same value.

The commit a91a7c709600("KVM: X86: Don't reset mmu context when
toggling X86_CR4_PGE") skips kvm_mmu_reset_context() after
load_pdptrs() when changing CR4.PGE.

Fixes: d81135a57aa6("KVM: x86: do not reset mmu if CR0.CD and CR0.NW are changed")
