    KVM: x86/mmu: Extend make_huge_page_split_spte() for the shadow MMU · 47855da0
    David Matlack authored
    Currently make_huge_page_split_spte() assumes execute permissions can be
    granted to any 4K SPTE when splitting huge pages. This is true for the
    TDP MMU but is not necessarily true for the shadow MMU, since KVM may be
    shadowing a non-executable huge page.
    
    To fix this, pass in the role of the child shadow page where the huge
    page will be split and derive the execution permission from that.  This
    is correct because huge pages are always split with direct shadow page
    and thus the shadow page role contains the correct access permissions.
    
    No functional change intended.
