Sean Christopherson c1edcc41c3 KVM: x86: Retry to-be-emulated insn in "slow" unprotect path iff sp is zapped
Resume the guest and thus skip emulation of a non-PTE-writing instruction
if and only if unprotecting the gfn actually zapped at least one shadow
page.  If the gfn is write-protected for some reason other than shadow
paging, attempting to unprotect the gfn will effectively fail, and thus
retrying the instruction is all but guaranteed to be pointless.  This bug
has existed for a long time, but was effectively fudged around by the
retry RIP+address anti-loop detection.

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 reStructuredText 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.
