mm/memory: convert print_bad_pte() to print_bad_page_map()
print_bad_pte() looks like something that should actually be a WARN or
similar, but historically it apparently has proven to be useful to detect
corruption of page tables even on production systems -- report the issue
and keep the system running to make it easier to actually detect what is
going wrong (e.g., multiple such messages might shed a light).
As we want to unify vm_normal_page_*() handling for PTE/PMD/PUD, we'll
have to take care of print_bad_pte() as well.
Let's prepare for using print_bad_pte() also for non-PTEs by adjusting the
implementation and renaming the function to print_bad_page_map(). Provide
print_bad_pte() as a simple wrapper.
Document the implicit locking requirements for the page table re-walk.
To make the function a bit more readable, factor out the ratelimit check
into is_bad_page_map_ratelimited() and place the printing of page table
content into __print_bad_page_map_pgtable(). We'll now dump information
from each level in a single line, and just stop the table walk once we hit
something that is not a present page table.
The report will now look something like (dumping pgd to pmd values):
[ 77.943408] BUG: Bad page map in process XXX pte:80000001233f5867
[ 77.944077] addr:00007fd84bb1c000 vm_flags:08100071 anon_vma: ...
[ 77.945186] pgd:10a89f067 p4d:10a89f067 pud:10e5a2067 pmd:105327067
Not using pgdp_get(), because that does not work properly on some arm
configs where pgd_t is an array. Note that we are dumping all levels even
when levels are folded for simplicity.
