It would be nice to be able to dump page tables in a particular context. eg: dumping vmalloc space: 0:mon> dv 0xd00037fffff00000 pgd @ 0xc0000000017c0000 pgdp @ 0xc0000000017c00d8 = 0x00000000f10b1000 pudp @ 0xc0000000f10b13f8 = 0x00000000f10d0000 pmdp @ 0xc0000000f10d1ff8 = 0x00000000f1102000 ptep @ 0xc0000000f1102780 = 0xc0000000f1ba018e Maps physical address = 0x00000000f1ba0000 Flags = Accessed Dirty Read Write This patch does not replicate the complex code of dump_pagetable and has no support for bolted linear mapping, thats why I've it's called dump virtual page table support. The format of the PTE can be expanded even further to add more useful information about the flags in the PTE if required.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
