In order to fix the L1TF vulnerability, x86 can invert the PTE bits for
PROT_NONE VMAs, which means we cannot move from one PTE to the next by
adding 1 to the PFN field of the PTE. This results in the BUG reported at
[1].
Abstract advancing the PTE to the next PFN through a pte_next_pfn()
function/macro.

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.
