The page table dump code doesn't know about huge pages, so currently
it crashes (or walks random memory, usually leading to a crash), if it
finds a huge page. On Book3S we only see huge pages in the Linux page
tables when we're using the P9 Radix MMU.
Teaching the code to properly handle huge pages is a bit more involved,
so for now just prevent the crash.

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.
