[PATCH 0/2] mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Mon Mar 17 2025 - 02:18:58 EST


Last argument passed down in note_page() is u64 assuming pxd_val() returned
value (all page table levels) is 64 bit - which might not be the case going
ahead when D128 page tables is enabled on arm64 platform. Besides pxd_val()
is very platform specific and its type should not be assumed in generic MM.

This series splits note_page() into individual page table level specific
callbacks which accepts corresponding pxd_t page table entry as an argument
instead and later all subscribing platforms could derive pxd_val() from the
entries as required and proceed as before.

Page table entry's value, mask and protection are represented with pteval_t
not u64 that has been assumed while dumping the page table entries on arm64
platform. Replace such u64 instances with pteval_t instead as expected.

This series has been tested on arm64 platform but it does build on other
relevant platforms (v6.14-rc7).

Changes in V1:

- Added note_page_flush() callback and implemented the same on all
subscribing platforms
- Moved note_page() argument change from u64 to pteval_t on arm64 platform
from second patch to the first patch instead
