[PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: x86/mmu: include efer.lma in extended mmu role

From: Maxim Levitsky
Date: Mon Nov 15 2021 - 08:19:52 EST


When the host is running with normal TDP mmu (EPT/NPT),
and it is running a nested 32 bit guest, then after a migration,
the host mmu (aka root_mmu) is first initialized with
nested guest's IA32_EFER, due to the way userspace restores
the nested state.

When later, this is corrected on first nested VM exit to the host,
when host EFER is loaded from vmcs12,
the root_mmu is not reset, because the role.base.level
in this case, reflects the level of the TDP mmu which is
always 4 (or 5) on EPT, and usually 4 or even 5 on AMD
(when we have 64 bit host).

Since most of the paging state is already captured in
the extended mmu role, just add the EFER.LMA there to
force that reset.
