Normally guests will set up CR3 themselves, but some guests, such as kselftests, and potentially CONFIG_PVH guests, rely on being booted with paging enabled and CR3 initialized to a pre-allocated page table. Currently CR3 updates via KVM_SET_SREGS* are not loaded into the guest VMCB until just prior to entering the guest. For SEV-ES/SEV-SNP, this is too late, since it will have switched over to using the VMSA page prior to that point, with the VMSA CR3 copied from the VMCB initial CR3 value: 0. Address this by sync'ing the CR3 value into the VMCB save area immediately when KVM_SET_SREGS* is issued so it will find it's way into the initial VMSA.

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.
