is_last_gpte() is not equivalent to the pseudo-code given in commit
6bb69c9b69c31 ("KVM: MMU: simplify last_pte_bitmap") because an incorrect
value of last_nonleaf_level may override the result even if level == 1.
It is critical for is_last_gpte() to return true on level == 1 to
terminate page walks. Otherwise memory corruption may occur as level
is used as an index to various data structures throughout the page
walking code. Even though the actual bug would be wherever the MMU is
initialized (as in the previous patch), be defensive and ensure here
that is_last_gpte() returns the correct value.
This patch is also enough to fix CVE-2017-12188.

[Panic if walk_addr_generic gets an incorrect level; this is a serious
bug and it's not worth a WARN_ON where the recovery path might hide
further exploitable issues; suggested by Andrew Honig. - Paolo]

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.
