From fb59d007a0e44e2304e4fc8cf5c20b6fda7890f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 12:34:55 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: mm: dump: don't skip final region If the final page table entry we walk is a valid mapping, the page table dumping code will not log the region this entry is part of, as the final note_page call in ptdump_show will trigger an early return. Luckily this isn't seen on contemporary systems as they typically don't have enough RAM to extend the linear mapping right to the end of the address space. In note_page, we log a region when we reach its end (i.e. we hit an entry immediately afterwards which has different prot bits or is invalid). The final entry has no subsequent entry, so we will not log this immediately. We try to cater for this with a subsequent call to note_page in ptdump_show, but this returns early as 0 < LOWEST_ADDR, and hence we will skip a valid mapping if it spans to the final entry we note. Unlike 32-bit ARM, the pgd with the kernel mapping is never shared with user mappings, so we do not need the check to ensure we don't log user page tables. Due to the way addr is constructed in the walk_* functions, it can never be less than LOWEST_ADDR when walking the page tables, so it is not necessary to avoid dereferencing invalid table addresses. The existing checks for st->current_prot and st->marker[1].start_address are sufficient to ensure we will not print and/or dereference garbage when trying to log information. This patch removes the unnecessary check against LOWEST_ADDR, ensuring we log all regions in the kernel page table, including those which span right to the end of the address space.
