Wish I had actually read this series when it first flew by, just spent
several hours debugging this exact thing when running the "access" test.

Add a helper for this, it's easier than copy-pasting the comment and code
everywhere. BIT_ULL() is also handy.

static inline bool kvm_mmu_is_illegal_gpa(gpa_t gpa)
{
return (gpa < BIT_ULL(cpuid_maxphyaddr(vcpu)));
}

Yep. Move this down below where error_code is calculated. Then the code
should be something like this. Not fun to handle this with EPT :-(

Note, VMCS.GUEST_LINEAR_ADDRESS isn't guaranteed to be accurate, e.g. if
the guest is putting bad gpas into Intel PT, but I don't think we have any
choice but to blindly cram it in and hope for the best.

if (unlikely(kvm_mmu_is_illegal_gpa(vcpu, gpa))) {
/* Morph the EPT error code into a #PF error code. */
error_code &= ~(PFERR_USER_MASK | PFERR_GUEST_FINAL_MASK |
PFERR_GUEST_PAGE_MASK);
if (vmx_get_cpl(vcpu) == 3)
error_code |= PFERR_USER_MASK;
error_code |= PFERR_PRESENT_MASK;

kvm_inject_rsvd_bits_pf(vcpu, vmcs_readl(GUEST_LINEAR_ADDRESS),
error_code);

return 1;
}

This shouldn't happen. If KVM creates a bad EPTE for an illegal GPA, we
done goofed up. I.e.

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(kvm_mmu_is_illegal_gpa(vcpu, gpa))) {
vcpu->run->blah = blah;
return 0;
}
