KVM: x86/mmu: Use high bits for host/mmu writable masks for EPT SPTEs
mainline inclusion from mainline-v5.13-rc1 commit 613a3f37 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/intel-kernel/issues/I7S3VQ CVE: NA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=613a3f3797528be489d280c35c4f6ebfcbe77e9e ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Use bits 57 and 58 for HOST_WRITABLE and MMU_WRITABLE when using EPT. This will allow using bit 11 as a constant MMU_PRESENT, which is desirable as checking for a shadow-present SPTE is one of the most common SPTE operations in KVM, particular in hot paths such as page faults. EPT is short on low available bits; currently only bit 11 is the only always-available bit. Bit 10 is also available, but only while KVM doesn't support mode-based execution. On the other hand, PAE paging doesn't have _any_ high available bits. Thus, using bit 11 is the only feasible option for MMU_PRESENT.
