Linux kernel source tree

For shadow paging, the page table needs to be reconstructed before the
coming VMENTER if the guest PDPTEs is changed.
But not all paths that call load_pdptrs() will cause the page tables to be
reconstructed. Normally, kvm_mmu_reset_context() and kvm_mmu_free_roots()
are used to launch later reconstruction.
The commit d81135a57aa6("KVM: x86: do not reset mmu if CR0.CD and
CR0.NW are changed") skips kvm_mmu_reset_context() after load_pdptrs()
when changing CR0.CD and CR0.NW.
The commit 21823fbda552("KVM: x86: Invalidate all PGDs for the current
PCID on MOV CR3 w/ flush") skips kvm_mmu_free_roots() after
load_pdptrs() when rewriting the CR3 with the same value.
The commit a91a7c709600("KVM: X86: Don't reset mmu context when
toggling X86_CR4_PGE") skips kvm_mmu_reset_context() after
load_pdptrs() when changing CR4.PGE.
Guests like linux would keep the PDPTEs unchanged for every instance of
pagetable, so this missing reconstruction has no problem for linux
guests.

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.
