Set PFERR_GUEST_{FINAL,PAGE}_MASK based on EPT_VIOLATION_GVA_TRANSLATED if
and only if EPT_VIOLATION_GVA_IS_VALID is also set in exit qualification.
Per the SDM, bit 8 (EPT_VIOLATION_GVA_TRANSLATED) is valid if and only if
bit 7 (EPT_VIOLATION_GVA_IS_VALID) is set, and is '0' if bit 7 is '0'.
Bit 7 (a.k.a. EPT_VIOLATION_GVA_IS_VALID)
Set if the guest linear-address field is valid. The guest linear-address
field is valid for all EPT violations except those resulting from an
attempt to load the guest PDPTEs as part of the execution of the MOV CR
instruction and those due to trace-address pre-translation
Bit 8 (a.k.a. EPT_VIOLATION_GVA_TRANSLATED)
If bit 7 is 1:
• Set if the access causing the EPT violation is to a guest-physical
address that is the translation of a linear address.
• Clear if the access causing the EPT violation is to a paging-structure
entry as part of a page walk or the update of an accessed or dirty bit.
Reserved if bit 7 is 0 (cleared to 0).
Failure to guard the logic on GVA_IS_VALID results in KVM marking the page
fault as PFERR_GUEST_PAGE_MASK when there is no known GVA, which can put
the vCPU into an infinite loop due to kvm_mmu_page_fault() getting false
positive on its PFERR_NESTED_GUEST_PAGE logic (though only because that
logic is also buggy/flawed).
In practice, this is largely a non-issue because so GVA_IS_VALID is almost
always set. However, when TDX comes along, GVA_IS_VALID will *never* be
set, as the TDX Module deliberately clears bits 12:7 in exit qualification,
e.g. so that the faulting virtual address and other metadata that aren't
practically useful for the hypervisor aren't leaked to the untrusted host.
When exit is due to EPT violation, bits 12-7 of the exit qualification
are cleared to 0.

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.
