[PATCH] KVM: arm64: ptdump: Flush the last region

From: Wei-Lin Chang

Date: Fri Jul 17 2026 - 19:13:27 EST


Currently the stage-2 ptdump calls note_page() at each leaf entry visit.
This simply misses the output of the last region, because note_page()
only dumps output when it detects a change in level/prot, or when the
walk enters a next marker section. The last region in the guest IPA
space with the same level/prot is not dumped since there is no change
after it.

To dump the final region, manually issue a note_page() call with address
BIT(ia_bits) (end of guest IPA space) and level == -1 to trigger a level
change after the last region. Additionally treat level == -1 as a last
flushing note_page() call and avoid dumping the name of the next marker
for this case.
