[PATCH] i386: adjustments to page table dump during oops (v2)

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Wed Jan 17 2007 - 03:21:26 EST


I'd like this to replace the previously sent patch under the same title,
applied as i386-adjustments-to-page-table-dump-during-oops.patch in -mm.
If an incremental patch on top of the previous one is absolutely
required, I can certainly also generate that.

- make the page table contents printing PAE capable
- make sure the address stored in current->thread.cr2 is unmodified from
what was read from CR2
- don't call oops_may_print() multiple times, when one time suffices
- print pte even in highpte case, as long as the pte page isn't in
actually in high memory (which is specifically the case for all page
tables covering kernel space)
