Linux kernel source tree

All of sync_page()'s existing checks filter out only !PRESENT gPTE,
because without execute-only, all upper levels are guaranteed to be at
least READABLE. However, if EPT with execute-only support is in use by
L1, KVM can create an SPTE that is shadow-present but guest-inaccessible
(RWX=0) if the upper level combined permissions are R (or RW) and
the leaf EPTE is changed from R (or RW) to X. Because the EPTE is
considered present when viewed in isolation, and no reserved bits are set,
FNAME(prefetch_invalid_gpte) will consider the GPTE valid, and cause a
not-present SPTE to be created.
The SPTE is "correct": the guest translation is inaccessible because
the combined protections of all levels yield RWX=0, and KVM will just
redirect any vmexits to the guest. If EPT A/D bits are disabled, KVM
can mistake the SPTE for an access-tracked SPTE, but again such confusion
isn't fatal, as the "saved" protections are also RWX=0. However,
creating a useless SPTE in general means that KVM messed up something,
even if this particular goof didn't manifest as a functional bug.
So, drop SPTEs whose new protections will yield a RWX=0 SPTE, and
add a WARN in make_spte() to detect creation of SPTEs that will
result in RWX=0 protections.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
