[Devel] [PATCH vz9 9/9] ms/x86/reboot: VMCLEAR active VMCSes before emergency reboot

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc at google.com>

VMCLEAR active VMCSes before any emergency reboot, not just if the kernel
may kexec into a new kernel after a crash.  Per Intel's SDM, the VMX
architecture doesn't require the CPU to flush the VMCS cache on INIT.  If
an emergency reboot doesn't RESET CPUs, cached VMCSes could theoretically
be kept and only be written back to memory after the new kernel is booted,
i.e. could effectively corrupt memory after reboot.

Opportunistically remove the setting of the global pointer to NULL to make
checkpatch happy.

Without this patch applied to the L1 VM kernel
L2 VMs may crash on boot in case L1 VM is reset using following command:
  # echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Following message appeared in the L2 VM log:
  KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0x80000021
