Linus Torvalds 137e0ec05a KVM GUEST_MEMFD fixes for 6.8:
- Make KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD mutually exclusive with KVM_MEM_READONLY to
   avoid creating an inconsistent ABI (KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD is not writable
   from userspace, so there would be no way to write to a read-only
   guest_memfd).
 
 - Update documentation for KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM to make it abundantly
   clear that such VMs are purely for development and testing.
 
 - Limit KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM guests to the TDP MMU, as the long term plan
   is to support confidential VMs with deterministic private memory (SNP
   and TDX) only in the TDP MMU.
 
 - Fix a bug in a GUEST_MEMFD dirty logging test that caused false passes.
 
 x86 fixes:
 
 - Fix missing marking of a guest page as dirty when emulating an atomic access.
 
 - Check for mmu_notifier invalidation events before faulting in the pfn,
   and before acquiring mmu_lock, to avoid unnecessary work and lock
   contention with preemptible kernels (including CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
   in non-preemptible mode).
 
 - Disable AMD DebugSwap by default, it breaks VMSA signing and will be
   re-enabled with a better VM creation API in 6.10.
 
 - Do the cache flush of converted pages in svm_register_enc_region() before
   dropping kvm->lock, to avoid a race with unregistering of the same region
   and the consequent use-after-free issue.
