Subject: arc: mm: add p?d_leaf() definitions
Patch series "Generic page walk and ptdump", v9.
This is a slight reworking and extension of my previous patch set (Convert
x86 & arm64 to use generic page walk), but I've continued the version
numbering as most of the changes are the same. In particular this series
ends with a generic PTDUMP implemention for arm64 and x86.
Many architectures current have a debugfs file for dumping the kernel page
tables. Currently each architecture has to implement custom functions for
this because the details of walking the page tables used by the kernel are
different between architectures.
This series extends the capabilities of walk_page_range() so that it can
deal with the page tables of the kernel (which have no VMAs and can
contain larger huge pages than exist for user space). A generic PTDUMP
implementation is the implemented making use of the new functionality of
walk_page_range() and finally arm64 and x86 are switch to using it,
removing the custom table walkers.
To enable a generic page table walker to walk the unusual mappings of the
kernel we need to implement a set of functions which let us know when the
walker has reached the leaf entry. After a suggestion from Will Deacon
I've chosen the name p?d_leaf() as this (hopefully) describes the purpose
(and is a new name so has no historic baggage). Some architectures have
p?d_large macros but this is easily confused with "large pages".
Mostly this is a clean up and there should be very little functional
change. The exceptions are:
* x86 PTDUMP debugfs output no longer display pages which aren't
present (patch 14).
* arm64 has the ability to efficiently process KASAN pages (which
previously only x86 implemented). This means that the combination of
KASAN and DEBUG_WX is now useable.
This patch (of 21):
walk_page_range() is going to be allowed to walk page tables other than
those of user space. For this it needs to know when it has reached a
'leaf' entry in the page tables. This information will be provided by the
p?d_leaf() functions/macros.
For arc, we only have two levels, so only pmd_leaf() is needed.
