[RFC V3 0/8] mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()
From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Tue Aug 18 2026 - 00:02:04 EST
pxd_ERROR() macros have been provided by all platforms, which are very much
identical and can be dropped off completely if these pgtable printing could
be moved to callers in generic MM aka all pxd_clear_bad().
But first cleanups and re-organizations are required in some platforms that
are using these macros internally. Afterwards [pte|pmd|pud|p4d|pgd]_ERROR()
macros have been completely dropped from the entire tree.
This series is based on v7.2 after the following patch and has also been
built tested on multiple platforms.

Changes in RFC V3:
- Moved ptrval_to_str() as header in a separate patch
- Stopped using pxd_ERROR() in generic MM in a separate patch
- Dropped pxd_ERRO() macros from all platforms in a separate patch
- Dropped print_bad_pte() and also cleaned up set_pte_phys()
- Added some pr_error() messages in __get_pte_phys()
- Cleaned up error messages and used ptrval_to_str() in platforms
Changes in RFC V2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260811042119.3652929-1-anshuman.khandual@xxxxxxx/
- Added clean up patches for platforms with existing pxd_ERROR() usage
- Dropped __FILE__ and __LINE__ from all print sections per David
