[PATCH 04/54] KVM: x86/mmu: Use MMU's role to detect CR4.SMEP value in nested NPT walk

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Jun 22 2021 - 13:58:11 EST


Use the MMU's role to get its effective SMEP value when injecting a fault
into the guest. When walking L1's (nested) NPT while L2 is active, vCPU
state will reflect L2, whereas NPT uses the host's (L1 in this case) CR0,
CR4, EFER, etc... If L1 and L2 have different settings for SMEP and
L1 does not have EFER.NX=1, this can result in an incorrect PFEC.FETCH
when injecting #NPF.

Fixes: e57d4a356ad3 ("KVM: Add instruction fetch checking when walking guest page table")
