An uninitialized gfn_to_hva_cache has ghc->len == 0, which causes
the accessors to croak very loudly. While a BUG_ON is definitely
_too_ loud and a bug on its own, there is indeed an issue of using
the caches in such a way that they could not have been initialized,
because ghc->gpa == 0 might match and thus kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init
would not be called.
For the vmcs12_cache, the solution is simply to invoke
kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init unconditionally: we already know
that the cache does not match the current VMCS pointer.
For the shadow_vmcs12_cache, there is no similar condition
that checks the VMCS link pointer, so invalidate the cache
on VMXON.

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.
