Sometimes when the guest updates its pagetable, it adds only new gptes to it without changing any existed one, so there is no point to update the sptes for these existed gptes. Also when the sptes for these unchanged gptes are updated, the AD bits are also removed since make_spte() is called with prefetch=true which might result unneeded TLB flushing. Just do nothing if the gpte's permissions are unchanged.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
