Sean Christopherson 9aae145dc5 KVM: x86/mmu: Use MMU's role to detect CR4.SMEP value in nested NPT walk
commit ef318b9edf66a082f23d00d79b70c17b4c055a26 upstream.

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.

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.
