KVM: nVMX: remove incorrect vpid check in nested invvpid emulation
This patch removes the vpid check when emulating nested invvpid instruction of type all-contexts invalidation. The existing code is incorrect because: (1) According to Intel SDM Vol 3, Section "INVVPID - Invalidate Translations Based on VPID", invvpid instruction does not check vpid in the invvpid descriptor when its type is all-contexts invalidation. (2) According to the same document, invvpid of type all-contexts invalidation does not require there is an active VMCS, so/and get_vmcs12() in the existing code may result in a NULL-pointer dereference. In practice, it can crash both KVM itself and L1 hypervisors that use invvpid (e.g. Xen). Signed-off-by: NHaozhong Zhang <haozhong.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
