EPT A/D was enabled in the vmcs02 EPTP regardless of the vmcs12's EPTP
value. The problem is that enabling A/D changes the behavior of L2's
x86 page table walks as seen by L1. With A/D enabled, x86 page table
walks are always treated as EPT writes.
Commit ae1e2d1082 ("kvm: nVMX: support EPT accessed/dirty bits",
2017-03-30) tried to work around this problem by clearing the write
bit in the exit qualification for EPT violations triggered by page
walks. However, that fixup introduced the opposite bug: page-table walks
that actually set x86 A/D bits were *missing* the write bit in the exit
qualification.
This patch fixes the problem by disabling EPT A/D in the shadow MMU
when EPT A/D is disabled in vmcs12's EPTP.

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.
