VMCS12 is used to keep the authoritative state during nested state migration. In case 'need_vmcs12_to_shadow_sync' flag is set, we're in between L2->L1 vmexit and L1 guest run when actual sync to enlightened (or shadow) VMCS happens. Nested state, however, has no flag for 'need_vmcs12_to_shadow_sync' so vmx_set_nested_state()-> set_current_vmptr() always sets it. Enlightened vmptrld path, however, doesn't have the quirk so some VMCS12 changes may not get properly reflected to eVMCS and L1 will see an incorrect state. Note, during L2 execution or when need_vmcs12_to_shadow_sync is not set the change is effectively a nop: in the former case all changes will get reflected during the first L2->L1 vmexit and in the later case VMCS12 and eVMCS are already in sync (thanks to copy_enlightened_to_vmcs12() in vmx_get_nested_state()).

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.
