Subject: [PATCH 00/18] KVM: x86/mmu: A/D cleanups (on top of kvm_follow_pfn)

This is effectively an extensive of the kvm_follow_pfn series[*] (and
applies on top of said series), but is x86-specific and is *almost*
entirely related to Accessed and Dirty bits.

There's no central theme beyond cleaning up things that were discovered
when digging deep for the kvm_follow_pfn overhaul, and to a lesser extent
the series to add MGLRU support in KVM x86.

Sean Christopherson (18):
  KVM: x86/mmu: Flush remote TLBs iff MMU-writable flag is cleared from
    RO SPTE
  KVM: x86/mmu: Always set SPTE's dirty bit if it's created as writable
  KVM: x86/mmu: Fold all of make_spte()'s writable handling into one
    if-else
  KVM: x86/mmu: Don't force flush if SPTE update clears Accessed bit
  KVM: x86/mmu: Don't flush TLBs when clearing Dirty bit in shadow MMU
  KVM: x86/mmu: Drop ignored return value from
    kvm_tdp_mmu_clear_dirty_slot()
  KVM: x86/mmu: Fold mmu_spte_update_no_track() into mmu_spte_update()
  KVM: x86/mmu: WARN and flush if resolving a TDP MMU fault clears
    MMU-writable
  KVM: x86/mmu: Add a dedicated flag to track if A/D bits are globally
    enabled
  KVM: x86/mmu: Set shadow_accessed_mask for EPT even if A/D bits
    disabled
  KVM: x86/mmu: Set shadow_dirty_mask for EPT even if A/D bits disabled
  KVM: x86/mmu: Use Accessed bit even when _hardware_ A/D bits are
    disabled
  KVM: x86/mmu: Process only valid TDP MMU roots when aging a gfn range
  KVM: x86/mmu: Stop processing TDP MMU roots for test_age if young SPTE
    found
  KVM: x86/mmu: Dedup logic for detecting TLB flushes on leaf SPTE
    changes
  KVM: x86/mmu: Set Dirty bit for new SPTEs, even if _hardware_ A/D bits
    are disabled
  KVM: Allow arch code to elide TLB flushes when aging a young page
  KVM: x86: Don't emit TLB flushes when aging SPTEs for mmu_notifiers
