access: add test for dirty bit tracking if CR0.WP = 0
If the write-fault access is from supervisor and CR0.WP is not set on the vcpu, kvm will fix it by adjusting pte access - it sets the W bit on pte and clears U bit. This is the chance that kvm can change pte access from readonly to writable Unfortunately, the pte access is the access of 'direct' shadow page table, means direct sp.role.access = pte_access, then we will create a writable spte entry on the readonly shadow page table. It will cause Dirty bit is not tracked when two guest ptes point to the same large page. Note, it does not have other impact except Dirty bit since cr0.wp is encoded into sp.role This testcast is not to to trigger this bug Signed-off-by:Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:
