Lai Jiangshan 4f4aa80e3b KVM: X86: Handle implicit supervisor access with SMAP
There are two kinds of implicit supervisor access
	implicit supervisor access when CPL = 3
	implicit supervisor access when CPL < 3

Current permission_fault() handles only the first kind for SMAP.

But if the access is implicit when SMAP is on, data may not be read
nor write from any user-mode address regardless the current CPL.

So the second kind should be also supported.

The first kind can be detect via CPL and access mode: if it is
supervisor access and CPL = 3, it must be implicit supervisor access.

But it is not possible to detect the second kind without extra
information, so this patch adds an artificial PFERR_EXPLICIT_ACCESS
into @access. This extra information also works for the first kind, so
the logic is changed to use this information for both cases.

The value of PFERR_EXPLICIT_ACCESS is deliberately chosen to be bit 48
which is in the most significant 16 bits of u64 and less likely to be
forced to change due to future hardware uses it.

This patch removes the call to ->get_cpl() for access mode is determined
by @access.  Not only does it reduce a function call, but also remove
confusions when the permission is checked for nested TDP.  The nested
TDP shouldn't have SMAP checking nor even the L2's CPL have any bearing
on it.  The original code works just because it is always user walk for
NPT and SMAP fault is not set for EPT in update_permission_bitmask.

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.
