    Subject[PATCH 3.16 191/346] KVM: nVMX: postpone VMCS changes on MSR_IA32_APICBASE write
    3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com>

    commit dccbfcf52cebb8963246eba5b177b77f26b34da0 upstream.

    If vmcs12 does not intercept APIC_BASE writes, then KVM will handle the
    write with vmcs02 as the current VMCS.
    This will incorrectly apply modifications intended for vmcs01 to vmcs02
    and L2 can use it to gain access to L0's x2APIC registers by disabling
    virtualized x2APIC while using msr bitmap that assumes enabled.

    Postpone execution of vmx_set_virtual_x2apic_mode until vmcs01 is the
    current VMCS. An alternative solution would temporarily make vmcs01 the
    current VMCS, but it requires more care.

    Fixes: 8d14695f9542 ("x86, apicv: add virtual x2apic support")
