Currently KVM_STATE_NESTED_EVMCS is used to signal that eVMCS capability is enabled on vCPU. As indicated by vmx->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()).
