Subject: x86: mm: ptdump: calculate effective permissions correctly
Patch series "Fix W+X debug feature on x86"
Jan alerted me[1] that the W+X detection debug feature was broken in x86
by my change[2] to switch x86 to use the generic ptdump infrastructure.
Fundamentally the approach of trying to move the calculation of effective
permissions into note_page() was broken because note_page() is only called
for 'leaf' entries and the effective permissions are passed down via the
internal nodes of the page tree. The solution I've taken here is to
create a new (optional) callback which is called for all nodes of the page
tree and therefore can calculate the effective permissions.
Secondly on some configurations (32 bit with PAE) "unsigned long" is not
large enough to store the table entries. The fix here is simple - let's
just use a u64.

[2] 2ae27137b2db ("x86: mm: convert dump_pagetables to use walk_page_range")
This patch (of 2):
By switching the x86 page table dump code to use the generic code the
effective permissions are no longer calculated correctly because the
note_page() function is only called for *leaf* entries. To calculate the
actual effective permissions it is necessary to observe the full hierarchy
of the page tree.
Introduce a new callback for ptdump which is called for every entry and
can therefore update the prot_levels array correctly. note_page() can
then simply access the appropriate element in the array.
