commit c4ad98e4b72cb5be30ea282fce935248f2300e62 upstream.
KVM currently assumes that an instruction abort can never be a write.
This is in general true, except when the abort is triggered by
a S1PTW on instruction fetch that tries to update the S1 page tables
(to set AF, for example).
This can happen if the page tables have been paged out and brought
back in without seeing a direct write to them (they are thus marked
read only), and the fault handling code will make the PT executable(!)
instead of writable. The guest gets stuck forever.
In these conditions, the permission fault must be considered as
a write so that the Stage-1 update can take place. This is essentially
the I-side equivalent of the problem fixed by
