When L2 uses PAE, L0 intercepts of L2 writes to CR0/CR3/CR4 call load_pdptrs to read the possibly updated PDPTEs from the guest physical address referenced by CR3. It loads them into vcpu->arch.walk_mmu->pdptrs and sets VCPU_EXREG_PDPTR in vcpu->arch.regs_dirty. At the subsequent assumed reentry into L2, the mmu will call vmx_load_mmu_pgd which calls ept_load_pdptrs. ept_load_pdptrs sees VCPU_EXREG_PDPTR set in vcpu->arch.regs_dirty and loads VMCS02.GUEST_PDPTRn from vcpu->arch.walk_mmu->pdptrs[]. This all works if the L2 CRn write intercept always resumes L2. The resume path calls vmx_check_nested_events which checks for exceptions, MTF, and expired VMX preemption timers. If vmx_check_nested_events finds any of these conditions pending it will reflect the corresponding exit into L1. Live migration at this point would also cause a missed immediate reentry into L2. After L1 exits, vmx_vcpu_run calls vmx_register_cache_reset which clears VCPU_EXREG_PDPTR in vcpu->arch.regs_dirty. When L2 next resumes, ept_load_pdptrs finds VCPU_EXREG_PDPTR clear in vcpu->arch.regs_dirty and does not load VMCS02.GUEST_PDPTRn from vcpu->arch.walk_mmu->pdptrs[]. prepare_vmcs02 will then load VMCS02.GUEST_PDPTRn from vmcs12->pdptr0/1/2/3 which contain the stale values stored at last L2 exit. A repro of this bug showed L2 entering triple fault immediately due to the bad VMCS02.GUEST_PDPTRn values. When L2 is in PAE paging mode add a call to ept_load_pdptrs before leaving L2. This will update VMCS02.GUEST_PDPTRn if they are dirty in vcpu->arch.walk_mmu->pdptrs[]. Tested: kvm-unit-tests with new directed test: vmx_mtf_pdpte_test. Verified that test fails without the fix. Also ran Google internal VMM with an Ubuntu 16.04 4.4.0-83 guest running a custom hypervisor with a 32-bit Windows XP L2 guest using PAE. Prior to fix would repro readily. Ran 14 simultaneous L2s for 140 iterations with no failures.

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.
