1. This patch passes-through CR4.PCIDE to guest VM.
2. This patch handles the invlidation of TLB and the paging-structure caches.
According to SDM Vol.3 4.10.4.1, the following instructions invalidate
entries in the TLBs and the paging-structure caches:
- INVLPG: this instruction is passed-through to guest, no extra handling needed.
- INVPCID: this instruction is passed-trhough to guest, no extra handling needed.
- CR0.PG from 1 to 0: already handled by current code, change of CR0.PG will do
EPT flush.
- MOV to CR3: hypervisor doesn't trap this instrcution, no extra handling needed.
- CR4.PGE changed: already handled by current code, change of CR4.PGE will no EPT
flush.
- CR4.PCIDE from 1 to 0: this patch handles this case, will do EPT flush.
- CR4.PAE changed: already handled by current code, change of CR4.PAE will do EPT
flush.
- CR4.SEMP from 1 to 0, already handled by current code, change of CR4.SEMP will
do EPT flush.
- Task switch: Task switch is not supported in VMX non-root mode.
- VMX transitions: already handled by current code with the support of VPID.
3. This patch checks the validatiy of CR0, CR4 related to PCID feature.
According to SDM Vol.3 4.10.1, CR.PCIDE can be 1 only in IA-32e mode.
- MOV to CR4 causes a general-protection exception (#GP) if it would change CR4.PCIDE
from 0 to 1 and either IA32_EFER.LMA = 0 or CR3[11:0] ≠ 000H
- MOV to CR0 causes a general-protection exception if it would clear CR0.PG to 0
while CR4.PCIDE = 1
