Sean Christopherson ddce620821 KVM: x86/mmu: Move root_hpa validity checks to top of page fault handler 
Add a check on root_hpa at the beginning of the page fault handler to
consolidate several checks on root_hpa that are scattered throughout the
page fault code.  This is a preparatory step towards eventually removing
such checks altogether, or at the very least WARNing if an invalid root
is encountered.  Remove only the checks that can be easily audited to
confirm that root_hpa cannot be invalidated between their current
location and the new check in kvm_mmu_page_fault(), and aren't currently
protected by mmu_lock, i.e. keep the checks in __direct_map() and
FNAME(fetch) for the time being.

The root_hpa checks that are consolidate were all added by commit

  37f6a4e237 ("KVM: x86: handle invalid root_hpa everywhere")

which was a follow up to a bug fix for __direct_map(), commit

  989c6b34f6 ("KVM: MMU: handle invalid root_hpa at __direct_map")

At the time, nested VMX had, in hindsight, crazy handling of nested
interrupts and would trigger a nested VM-Exit in ->interrupt_allowed(),
and thus unexpectedly reset the MMU in flows such as can_do_async_pf().

Now that the wonky nested VM-Exit behavior is gone, the root_hpa checks
are bogus and confusing, e.g. it's not at all obvious what they actually
protect against, and at first glance they appear to be broken since many
of them run without holding mmu_lock.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
