Subject: [PATCH 0/4] KVM: X86: Improve permission_fault() for SMAP

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...ux.alibaba.com>

permission_fault() calls two callbacks to get CPL and RFLAGS for SMAP,
but it is unneeded for some cases, this patchset improves it.

Lai Jiangshan (4):
  KVM: X86: Fix comments in update_permission_bitmask
  KVM: X86: Rename variable smap to not_smap in permission_fault()
  KVM: X86: Handle implicit supervisor access with SMAP
  KVM: X86: Only get rflags when needed in permission_fault()
