[PATCH 0/2] KVM: x86/mmu: nEPT X-only unsync bug fix

[Sean Christopherson]

Fix a contrived bug where KVM can create a shadow-present SPTE with RWX=0
if L1 modifies an existing RX or RWX 4kb SPTE to be X-only and the combined
permissions for the upper level SPTEs yield !X.

Patch 2 adds a comment explaining why FNAME(sync_page) isn't repsonsible
for flushing synchronized entries that reduce protections, e.g. drop X
(or add NX).  Lack of a flush made me do a double-take and a lot of
staring.

  KVM: x86/mmu: Drop RWX=0 SPTEs during ept_sync_page()
  KVM: x86/mmu: Comment FNAME(sync_page) to document TLB flushing logic
