If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jim Mattson commit 51aa68e7d57e3217192d88ce90fd5b8ef29ec94f upstream. If L1 does not specify the "use TPR shadow" VM-execution control in vmcs12, then L0 must specify the "CR8-load exiting" and "CR8-store exiting" VM-execution controls in vmcs02. Failure to do so will give the L2 VM unrestricted read/write access to the hardware CR8. This fixes CVE-2017-12154.
