Subject: [PATCH 5.15 026/779] KVM: nVMX: Account for KVM reserved CR4 bits in consistency checks

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

commit ca58f3aa53d165afe4ab74c755bc2f6d168617ac upstream.

Check that the guest (L2) and host (L1) CR4 values that would be loaded
by nested VM-Enter and VM-Exit respectively are valid with respect to
KVM's (L0 host) allowed CR4 bits.  Failure to check KVM reserved bits
would allow L1 to load an illegal CR4 (or trigger hardware VM-Fail or
failed VM-Entry) by massaging guest CPUID to allow features that are not
supported by KVM.  Amusingly, KVM itself is an accomplice in its doom, as
KVM adjusts L1's MSR_IA32_VMX_CR4_FIXED1 to allow L1 to enable bits for
L2 based on L1's CPUID model.

Note, although nested_{guest,host}_cr4_valid() are _currently_ used if
and only if the vCPU is post-VMXON (nested.vmxon == true), that may not
be true in the future, e.g. emulating VMXON has a bug where it doesn't
check the allowed/required CR0/CR4 bits.
