This patch adds PGD/PUD/PMD/PTE level information while dumping kernel page tables. Before this patch it was hard to identify which entries belongs to which page table level e.g. ~ # dmesg |grep -i radix [0.000000] radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000005400000 with 2.00 MiB pages (exec) [0.000000] radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000005400000-0x0000000040000000 with 2.00 MiB pages [0.000000] radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000040000000-0x0000000100000000 with 1.00 GiB pages [0.000000] radix-mmu: Initializing Radix MMU Before: ---[ Start of kernel VM ]--- 0xc000000000000000-0xc000000003ffffff XXX 64M r X pte valid present dirty accessed 0xc000000004000000-0xc00000003fffffff XXX 960M r w pte valid present dirty accessed 0xc000000040000000-0xc0000000ffffffff XXX 3G r w pte valid present dirty accessed ... ---[ vmemmap start ]--- 0xc00c000000000000-0xc00c0000003fffff XXX 4M r w pte valid present dirty accessed After: ---[ Start of kernel VM ]--- 0xc000000000000000-0xc000000003ffffff XXX 64M PMD r X pte valid present dirty accessed 0xc000000004000000-0xc00000003fffffff XXX 960M PMD r w pte valid present dirty accessed 0xc000000040000000-0xc0000000ffffffff XXX 3G PUD r w pte valid present dirty accessed ... ---[ vmemmap start ]--- 0xc00c000000000000-0xc00c0000003fffff XXX 4M PMD r w pte valid present dirty accessed Signed-off-by: Ritesh Harjani (IBM) <ritesh.list@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/95defb675ee5607ef3923a1e6aeac39311b8fad4.1761834163.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
