Currently KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is used to signal that eVMCS
capability is enabled on vCPU.
As indicated by vmx-&gt;nested.enlightened_vmcs_enabled.

This is quite bizarre as userspace VMM should make sure to expose
same vCPU with same CPUID values in both source and destination.
In case vCPU is exposed with eVMCS support on CPUID, it is also
expected to enable KVM_CAP_HYPERV_ENLIGHTENED_VMCS capability.
Therefore, KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is redundant.

KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is currently used on restore path
(vmx_set_nested_state()) only to enable eVMCS capability in KVM
and to signal need_vmcs12_sync such that on next VMEntry to guest
nested_sync_from_vmcs12() will be called to sync vmcs12 content
into eVMCS in guest memory.
However, because restore nested-state is rare enough, we could
have just modified vmx_set_nested_state() to always signal
need_vmcs12_sync.

From all the above, it seems that we could have just removed
the usage of KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS. However, in order to preserve
backwards migration compatibility, we cannot do that.
(vmx_get_nested_state() needs to signal flag when migrating from
new kernel to old kernel).

Returning KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS when just vCPU have eVMCS enabled
have a bad side-effect of userspace VMM having to send nested-state
from source to destination as part of migration stream. Even if
guest have never used eVMCS as it doesn't even run a nested
hypervisor workload. This requires destination userspace VMM and
KVM to support setting nested-state. Which make it more difficult
to migrate from new host to older host.
To avoid this, change KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS to signal eVMCS is
not only enabled but also active. i.e. Guest have made some
eVMCS active via an enlightened VMEntry. i.e. vmcs12 is copied
from eVMCS and therefore should be restored into eVMCS resident
in memory (by copy_vmcs12_to_enlightened()).

Pull still more SPDX updates from Greg KH:
 "Another round of SPDX updates for 5.2-rc6

  Here is what I am guessing is going to be the last "big" SPDX update
  for 5.2. It contains all of the remaining GPLv2 and GPLv2+ updates
  that were "easy" to determine by pattern matching. The ones after this
  are going to be a bit more difficult and the people on the spdx list
  will be discussing them on a case-by-case basis now.

  Another 5000+ files are fixed up, so our overall totals are:
	Files checked:            64545
	Files with SPDX:          45529

  Compared to the 5.1 kernel which was:
	Files checked:            63848
	Files with SPDX:          22576

  This is a huge improvement.

  Also, we deleted another 20000 lines of boilerplate license crud,
  always nice to see in a diffstat"

Commit 332d079735f5 ("KVM: nVMX: KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE - Tear down old EVMCS
state before setting new state", 2019-05-02) broke evmcs_test because the
eVMCS setup must be performed even if there is no VMXON region defined,
as long as the eVMCS bit is set in the assist page.

While the simplest possible fix would be to add a check on
kvm_state-&gt;flags &amp; KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS in the initial "if" that
covers kvm_state-&gt;hdr.vmx.vmxon_pa == -1ull, that is quite ugly.

Instead, this patch moves checks earlier in the function and
conditionalizes them on kvm_state-&gt;hdr.vmx.vmxon_pa, so that
vmx_set_nested_state always goes through vmx_leave_nested
and nested_enable_evmcs.

Fixes: 332d079735f5 ("KVM: nVMX: KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE - Tear down old EVMCS state before setting new state")
