Yu Zhang ae000861b9 KVM: Documentation: Fix documentation for nested.
Nested VMX was enabled by default in commit 1e58e5e591 ("KVM:
VMX: enable nested virtualization by default"), which was merged
in Linux 4.20. This patch is to fix the documentation accordingly.

Alexander A. Klimov 3c603573d2 docs: kvm: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Sean Christopherson b8d295f96b KVM: nVMX: Remove non-functional "support" for CR3 target values
Remove all references to cr3_target_value[0-3] and replace the fields
in vmcs12 with "dead_space" to preserve the vmcs12 layout.  KVM doesn't
support emulating CR3-target values, despite a variety of code that
implies otherwise, as KVM unconditionally reports '0' for the number of
supported CR3-target values.

This technically fixes a bug where KVM would incorrectly allow VMREAD
and VMWRITE to nonexistent fields, i.e. cr3_target_value[0-3].  Per
Intel's SDM, the number of supported CR3-target values reported in
VMX_MISC also enumerates the existence of the associated VMCS fields:

  If a future implementation supports more than 4 CR3-target values, they
  will be encoded consecutively following the 4 encodings given here.

Alternatively, the "bug" could be fixed by actually advertisting support
for 4 CR3-target values, but that'd likely just enable kvm-unit-tests
given that no one has complained about lack of support for going on ten
years, e.g. KVM, Xen and HyperV don't use CR3-target values.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 320f3f74d9 docs: kvm: Convert nested-vmx.txt to ReST format
This file is almost in ReST format. Just a small set of
changes were needed:

    - Add markups for lists;
    - Add markups for a literal block;
    - Adjust whitespaces.

While here, use the standard markup for the document title.
