For nested virt we maintain multiple VMCS that can run on a vCPU. So it is
incorrect to keep vmcs_host_cr3 and vmcs_host_cr4, whose purpose is caching
the value of the rarely changing HOST_CR3 and HOST_CR4 VMCS fields, in
vCPU-wide data structures.
Hyper-V nested on KVM runs into this consistently for me with PCID enabled.
CR3 is updated with a new value, unlikely(cr3 != vmx->host_state.vmcs_host_cr3)
fires, and the currently loaded VMCS is updated. Then we switch from L2 to
L1 and the next exit reverts CR3 to its old value.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
