Peter Feiner ac8d57e573 kvm: x86: mmu: allow A/D bits to be disabled in an mmu
Adds the plumbing to disable A/D bits in the MMU based on a new role
bit, ad_disabled. When A/D is disabled, the MMU operates as though A/D
aren't available (i.e., using access tracking faults instead).

To avoid SP -> kvm_mmu_page.role.ad_disabled lookups all over the
place, A/D disablement is now stored in the SPTE. This state is stored
in the SPTE by tweaking the use of SPTE_SPECIAL_MASK for access
tracking. Rather than just setting SPTE_SPECIAL_MASK when an
access-tracking SPTE is non-present, we now always set
SPTE_SPECIAL_MASK for access-tracking SPTEs.

[Use role.ad_disabled even for direct (non-shadow) EPT page tables.  Add
 documentation and a few MMU_WARN_ONs. - Paolo]

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
