Patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64", v2.
Last argument passed down in note_page() is u64 assuming pxd_val()
returned value (all page table levels) is 64 bit - which might not be the
case going ahead when D128 page tables is enabled on arm64 platform.
Besides pxd_val() is very platform specific and its type should not be
assumed in generic MM. A similar problem exists for effective_prot(),
although it is restricted to x86 platform.
This series splits note_page() and effective_prot() into individual page
table level specific callbacks which accepts corresponding pxd_t page
table entry as an argument instead and later on all subscribing platforms
could derive pxd_val() from the table entries as required and proceed as
before.
Define ptdesc_t type which describes the basic page table descriptor
layout on arm64 platform. Subsequently all level specific pxxval_t
descriptors are derived from ptdesc_t thus establishing a common original
format, which can also be appropriate for page table entries, masks and
protection values etc which are used at all page table levels.

Also add a note_page_flush() callback for flushing the last page table
page that was being handled earlier via level = -1.

The page table entry is passed in the 'val' argument to note_page(),
however this was previously an "unsigned long" which is fine on 64-bit
platforms. But for 32 bit x86 it is not always big enough to contain a
page table entry which may be 64 bits.
Change the type to u64 to ensure that it is always big enough.

Patch series "Fix W+X debug feature on x86"
Jan alerted me[1] that the W+X detection debug feature was broken in x86
by my change[2] to switch x86 to use the generic ptdump infrastructure.
Fundamentally the approach of trying to move the calculation of
effective permissions into note_page() was broken because note_page() is
only called for 'leaf' entries and the effective permissions are passed
down via the internal nodes of the page tree. The solution I've taken
here is to create a new (optional) callback which is called for all
nodes of the page tree and therefore can calculate the effective
permissions.
Secondly on some configurations (32 bit with PAE) "unsigned long" is not
large enough to store the table entries. The fix here is simple - let's
just use a u64.

[2] 2ae27137b2 ("x86: mm: convert dump_pagetables to use walk_page_range")
This patch (of 2):
By switching the x86 page table dump code to use the generic code the
effective permissions are no longer calculated correctly because the
note_page() function is only called for *leaf* entries. To calculate
the actual effective permissions it is necessary to observe the full
hierarchy of the page tree.
Introduce a new callback for ptdump which is called for every entry and
can therefore update the prot_levels array correctly. note_page() can
then simply access the appropriate element in the array.
