documentation
ARM already has an arm/ subdirectory, but s390 and x86 do not even though
they have a relatively large number of files specific to them. Create
new directories in Documentation/virt/kvm for these two architectures
as well.
While at it, group the API documentation and the developer documentation
in the table of contents.

This bit is very close to mean "role.quadrant is not in use", except that
it is false also when the MMU is mapping guest physical addresses
directly. In that case, role.quadrant is indeed not in use, but there
are no guest PTEs at all.
Changing the name and direction of the bit removes the special case,
since a guest with paging disabled, or not considering guest paging
structures as is the case for two-dimensional paging, does not have
to deal with 4-byte guest PTEs.

Rename "nxe" to "efer_nx" so that future macro magic can use the pattern
<reg>_<bit> for all CR0, CR4, and EFER bits that included in the role.
Using "efer_nx" also makes it clear that the role bit reflects EFER.NX,
not the NX bit in the corresponding PTE.

Originally, __kvm_sync_page used to check the cr4_pae bit in the role
to avoid zapping 4-byte kvm_mmu_pages when guest page size are 8-byte
or the other way round. However, in commit 47c42e6b4192 ("KVM: x86: fix
handling of role.cr4_pae and rename it to 'gpte_size'", 2019-03-28) it
was observed that this did not work for nested EPT, where the page table
size would be 8 bytes even if CR4.PAE=0. (Note that the check still
has to be done for nested *NPT*, so it is not possible to use tdp_enabled
or similar).
Therefore, a hack was introduced to identify nested EPT shadow pages
and unconditionally call __kvm_sync_page() on them. However, it is
possible to do without the hack to identify nested EPT shadow pages:
if EPT is active, there will be no shadow pages in non-EPT format,
and all of them will have gpte_is_8_bytes set to true; we can just
check the MMU role directly, and the test will always be true.
Even for non-EPT shadow MMUs, this test should really always be true
now that __kvm_sync_page() is called if and only if the role is an
exact match (kvm_mmu_get_page()) or is part of the current MMU context
(kvm_mmu_sync_roots()). A future commit will convert the likely-pointless
check into a meaningful WARN to enforce that the mmu_roles of the current
context and the shadow page are compatible.

When computing the access permissions of a shadow page, use the effective
permissions of the walk up to that point, i.e. the logic AND of its parents'
permissions. Two guest PxE entries that point at the same table gfn need to
be shadowed with different shadow pages if their parents' permissions are
different. KVM currently uses the effective permissions of the last
non-leaf entry for all non-leaf entries. Because all non-leaf SPTEs have
full ("uwx") permissions, and the effective permissions are recorded only
in role.access and merged into the leaves, this can lead to incorrect
reuse of a shadow page and eventually to a missing guest protection page
fault.
For example, here is a shared pagetable:
pgd[] pud[] pmd[] virtual address pointers
/->pmd1(u--)->pte1(uw-)->page1 <- ptr1 (u--)
/->pud1(uw-)--->pmd2(uw-)->pte2(uw-)->page2 <- ptr2 (uw-)
pgd-| (shared pmd[] as above)
\->pud2(u--)--->pmd1(u--)->pte1(uw-)->page1 <- ptr3 (u--)
\->pmd2(uw-)->pte2(uw-)->page2 <- ptr4 (u--)
pud1 and pud2 point to the same pmd table, so:
- ptr1 and ptr3 points to the same page.
- ptr2 and ptr4 points to the same page.
(pud1 and pud2 here are pud entries, while pmd1 and pmd2 here are pmd entries)
- First, the guest reads from ptr1 first and KVM prepares a shadow
page table with role.access=u--, from ptr1's pud1 and ptr1's pmd1.
"u--" comes from the effective permissions of pgd, pud1 and
pmd1, which are stored in pt->access. "u--" is used also to get
the pagetable for pud1, instead of "uw-".
- Then the guest writes to ptr2 and KVM reuses pud1 which is present.
The hypervisor set up a shadow page for ptr2 with pt->access is "uw-"
even though the pud1 pmd (because of the incorrect argument to
kvm_mmu_get_page in the previous step) has role.access="u--".
- Then the guest reads from ptr3. The hypervisor reuses pud1's
shadow pmd for pud2, because both use "u--" for their permissions.
Thus, the shadow pmd already includes entries for both pmd1 and pmd2.
- At last, the guest writes to ptr4. This causes no vmexit or pagefault,
because pud1's shadow page structures included an "uw-" page even though
its role.access was "u--".
Any kind of shared pagetable might have the similar problem when in
virtual machine without TDP enabled if the permissions are different
from different ancestors.
In order to fix the problem, we change pt->access to be an array, and
any access in it will not include permissions ANDed from child ptes.
The test code is: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20210603050537.19605-1-jiangshanlai@gmail.com/
Remember to test it with TDP disabled.
The problem had existed long before the commit 41074d07c78b ("KVM: MMU:
Fix inherited permissions for emulated guest pte updates"), and it
is hard to find which is the culprit. So there is no fixes tag here.

Commit cae7ed3c2cb0 ("KVM: x86: Refactor the MMIO SPTE generation handling")
cleaned up the computation of MMIO generation SPTE masks, however it
introduced a bug how the upper part was encoded:
SPTE bits 52-61 were supposed to contain bits 10-19 of the current
generation number, however a missing shift encoded bits 1-10 there instead
(mostly duplicating the lower part of the encoded generation number that
then consisted of bits 1-9).
In the meantime, the upper part was shrunk by one bit and moved by
subsequent commits to become an upper half of the encoded generation number
(bits 9-17 of bits 0-17 encoded in a SPTE).
In addition to the above, commit 56871d444bc4 ("KVM: x86: fix overlap between SPTE_MMIO_MASK and generation")
has changed the SPTE bit range assigned to encode the generation number and
the total number of bits encoded but did not update them in the comment
attached to their defines, nor in the KVM MMU doc.
Let's do it here, too, since it is too trivial thing to warrant a separate
commit.

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
