Sean Christopherson 18cb19eab7 KVM: x86/mmu: Remove the defunct update_pte() paging hook
commit c5e2184d1544f9e56140791eff1a351bea2e63b9 upstream.

Remove the update_pte() shadow paging logic, which was obsoleted by
commit 4731d4c7a0 ("KVM: MMU: out of sync shadow core"), but never
removed.  As pointed out by Yu, KVM never write protects leaf page
tables for the purposes of shadow paging, and instead marks their
associated shadow page as unsync so that the guest can write PTEs at
will.

The update_pte() path, which predates the unsync logic, optimizes COW
scenarios by refreshing leaf SPTEs when they are written, as opposed to
zapping the SPTE, restarting the guest, and installing the new SPTE on
the subsequent fault.  Since KVM no longer write-protects leaf page
tables, update_pte() is unreachable and can be dropped.

README

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.
