Paolo Bonzini db77548b16 KVM: vmx, svm: always run with EFER.NXE=1 when shadow paging is active 
commit 9167ab7993 upstream.

VMX already does so if the host has SMEP, in order to support the combination of
CR0.WP=1 and CR4.SMEP=1.  However, it is perfectly safe to always do so, and in
fact VMX also ends up running with EFER.NXE=1 on old processors that lack the
"load EFER" controls, because it may help avoiding a slow MSR write.

SVM does not have similar code, but it should since recent AMD processors do
support SMEP.  So this patch makes the code for the two vendors simpler and
more similar, while fixing an issue with CR0.WP=1 and CR4.SMEP=1 on AMD.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
