Blindly reading PKRU/PKRS is wrong. I think this magic insanity will be functionally
correct due to update_pkr_bitmask() clearing the appropriate bits in pkr_mask based
on CR4.PK*, but the read should never happen. PKRU is benign, but I believe reading
PKRS will result in VMREAD to an invalid field if PKRU is supported and enabled, but
PKRS is not supported.

I belive the easiest solution is:

if (pte_access & PT_USER_MASK)
pkr = is_cr4_pke(mmu) ? vcpu->arch.pkru : 0;
else
pkr = is_cr4_pks(mmu) ? kvm_read_pkrs(vcpu) : 0;

The is_cr4_pk*() helpers are restricted to mmu.c, but this presents a good
opportunity to extra the PKR stuff to a separate, non-inline helper (as a prep
patch). E.g.


WARN_ON(pfec & (PFERR_PK_MASK | PFERR_RSVD_MASK));
if (unlikely(mmu->pkr_mask))
u32 pkr_bits = kvm_mmu_pkr_bits(vcpu, mmu, pte_access, pte_pkey);

errcode |= -pkr_bits & PFERR_PK_MASK;
fault |= (pkr_bits != 0);
}

return -(u32)fault & errcode;

permission_fault() is inline because it's heavily used for shadow paging, but
when using TDP, it's far less performance critical. PKR is TDP-only, so moving
it out-of-line should be totally ok (this is also why this patch is "unlikely").
