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. This patch (of 3): 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. Split note_page() into individual page table level specific callbacks which accepts corresponding pxd_t argument instead and then subscribing platforms just derive pxd_val() from the entries as required and proceed as earlier. Also add a note_page_flush() callback for flushing the last page table page that was being handled earlier via level = -1.

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.
