      KVM: MMU: fix Dirty bit missed if CR0.WP = 0 · c2288505
      Xiao Guangrong authored
      If the write-fault access is from supervisor and CR0.WP is not set on the
      vcpu, kvm will fix it by adjusting pte access - it sets the W bit on pte
      and clears U bit. This is the chance that kvm can change pte access from
      readonly to writable
      
      Unfortunately, the pte access is the access of 'direct' shadow page table,
      means direct sp.role.access = pte_access, then we will create a writable
      spte entry on the readonly shadow page table. It will cause Dirty bit is
      not tracked when two guest ptes point to the same large page. Note, it
      does not have other impact except Dirty bit since cr0.wp is encoded into
      sp.role
      
      It can be fixed by adjusting pte access before establishing shadow page
      table. Also, after that, no mmu specified code exists in the common function
      and drop two parameters in set_spte
