Sean Christopherson 5bcaf3e171 KVM: x86/mmu: Account NX huge page disallowed iff huge page was requested
Condition the accounting of a disallowed huge NX page on the original
requested level of the page being greater than the current iterator
level.  This does two things: accounts the page if and only if a huge
page was actually disallowed, and accounts the shadow page if and only
if it was the level at which the huge page was disallowed.  For the
latter case, the previous logic would account all shadow pages used to
create the translation for the forced small page, e.g. even PML4, which
can't be a huge page on current hardware, would be accounted as having
been a disallowed huge page when using 5-level EPT.

The overzealous accounting is purely a performance issue, i.e. the
recovery thread will spuriously zap shadow pages, but otherwise the bad
behavior is harmless.

README

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.
