Remove the WARN_ON in handle_ept_misconfig() as it is unnecessary
and causes false positives. Return the unmodified result of
kvm_mmu_page_fault() instead of converting a system error code to
KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN so that userspace sees the error code of the
actual failure, not a generic "we don't know what went wrong".
* kvm_mmu_page_fault() will WARN if reserved bits are set in the
SPTEs, i.e. it covers the case where an EPT misconfig occurred
because of a KVM bug.
* The WARN_ON will fire on any system error code that is hit while
handling the fault, e.g. -ENOMEM from mmu_topup_memory_caches()
while handling a legitmate MMIO EPT misconfig or -EFAULT from
kvm_handle_bad_page() if the corresponding HVA is invalid. In
either case, userspace should receive the original error code
and firing a warning is incorrect behavior as KVM is operating
as designed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
