This will trigger,

[  104.532621] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in arch/x86/mm/dump_pagetables.c:284:27
[  104.542620] index -1 is out of range for type 'pgprotval_t [5]'

Doh! In this case the result (new_eff) is never actually used: the -1 is used just to flush the last proper entry out, so in this case val == 0 which means the following statement sets new_eff = 0. But obviously an out-of-bounds access isn't great. Thanks for testing!

The following patch should fix it up by making the assignment conditional on val != 0.

Andrew: Would you like me to resend, or can you squash in the below?
