[PATCH v2 3/4] powerpc/mm: Properly coalesce pages in ptdump

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Mon Apr 19 2021 - 06:47:41 EST


Commit aaa229529244 ("powerpc/mm: Add physical address to Linux page
table dump") changed range coalescing to only combine ranges that are
both virtually and physically contiguous, in order to avoid erroneous
combination of unrelated mappings in IOREMAP space.

But in the VMALLOC space, mappings almost never have contiguous
physical pages, so the commit mentionned above leads to dumping one
line per page for vmalloc mappings.

Taking into account the vmalloc always leave a gap between two areas,
we never have two mappings dumped as a single combination even if they
have the exact same flags. The only space that may have encountered
such an issue was the early IOREMAP which is not using vmalloc engine.
But previous commits added gaps between early IO mappings, so it is
not an issue anymore.

That commit created some difficulties with KASAN mappings, see
commit cabe8138b23c ("powerpc: dump as a single line areas mapping a
single physical page.") and with huge page, see
commit b00ff6d8c1c3 ("powerpc/ptdump: Properly handle non standard
page size").

So, almost revert commit aaa229529244 to properly coalesce pages
mapped with the same flags as before, only keep the display of the
first physical address of the range, as it can be usefull especially
for IO mappings.

It brings back powerpc at the same level as other architectures and
simplifies the conversion to GENERIC PTDUMP.
