Subject: [PATCH 5.15 002/145] KVM: x86/mmu: fix NULL pointer dereference on guest INVPCID

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

commit 9f46c187e2e680ecd9de7983e4d081c3391acc76 upstream.

With shadow paging enabled, the INVPCID instruction results in a call
to kvm_mmu_invpcid_gva.  If INVPCID is executed with CR0.PG=0, the
invlpg callback is not set and the result is a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix it trivially by checking for mmu->invlpg before every call.

There are other possibilities:

- check for CR0.PG, because KVM (like all Intel processors after P5)
  flushes guest TLB on CR0.PG changes so that INVPCID/INVLPG are a
  nop with paging disabled

- check for EFER.LMA, because KVM syncs and flushes when switching
  MMU contexts outside of 64-bit mode

All of these are tricky, go for the simple solution.  This is CVE-2022-1789.
