[RFC V1 01/16] mm: Abstract printing of pxd_val()

From: Anshuman Khandual

Date: Tue Feb 24 2026 - 00:13:10 EST


Ahead of adding support for D128 pgtables, refactor places that print
PTE values to use the new __PRIpte format specifier and __PRIpte_args()
macro to prepare the argument(s). When using D128 pgtables in future,
we can simply redefine __PRIpte and __PTIpte_args().

Besides there is also an assumption about pxd_val() being always capped
at 'unsigned long long' size but that will not work for D128 pgtables.
Just increase its size to u128 if the compiler supports via a separate
data type pxdval_t which also defaults to existing 'unsigned long long'.
