mmu_role represents the role of the root of the page tables. It does not need any extended bits, as those govern only KVM's page table walking; the is_* functions used for page table walking always use the CPU role. ext.valid is not present anymore in the MMU role, but an all-zero MMU role is impossible because the level field is never zero in the MMU role. So just zap the whole mmu_role in order to force invalidation after CPUID is updated. While making this change, which requires touching almost every occurrence of "mmu_role", rename it to "root_role". Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
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.
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.
