[ Upstream commit470750b342] Keep CR3 load/store exiting enable as needed when running L2 in order to honor L1's desires. This fixes a largely theoretical bug where L1 could intercept CR3 but not CR0.PG and end up not getting the desired CR3 exits when L2 enables paging. In other words, the existing !is_paging() check inadvertantly handles the normal case for L2 where vmx_set_cr0() is called during VM-Enter, which is guaranteed to run with paging enabled, and thus will never clear the bits. Removing the !is_paging() check will also allow future consolidation and cleanup of the related code. From a performance perspective, this is all a nop, as the VMCS controls shadow will optimize away the VMWRITE when the controls are in the desired state. Add a comment explaining why CR3 is intercepted, with a big disclaimer about not querying the old CR3. Because vmx_set_cr0() is used for flows that are not directly tied to MOV CR3, e.g. vCPU RESET/INIT and nested VM-Enter, it's possible that is_paging() is not synchronized with CR3 load/store exiting. This is actually guaranteed in the current code, as KVM starts with CR3 interception disabled. Obviously that can be fixed, but there's no good reason to play whack-a-mole, and it tends to end poorly, e.g. descriptor table exiting for UMIP emulation attempted to be precise in the past and ended up botching the interception toggling.

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.
