Heiko Carstens 232b8e3b1d KVM: s390: remove change-recording override support ...

Change-recording override (CO) was never implemented in any
machine. According to the architecture it is unpredictable if a
translation-specification exception will be recognized if the bit is
set and EDAT1 does not apply.
Therefore the easiest solution is to simply ignore the bit.

This also fixes commit cd1836f583 ("KVM: s390:
instruction-execution-protection support"). A guest may enable
instruction-execution-protection (IEP) but not EDAT1. In such a case
the guest_translate() function (arch/s390/kvm/gaccess.c) will report a
specification exception on pages that have the IEP bit set while it
should not.

It might make sense to add full IEP support to guest_translate() and
the GACC_IFETCH case. However, as far as I can tell the GACC_IFETCH
case is currently only used after an instruction was executed in order
to fetch the failing instruction. So there is no additional problem
*currently*.
