[PATCH v2 00/11] arm64: ptdump: View the second stage page-tables

[Sebastian Ene <sebastianene@google.com>]

Hi,

This can be used as a debugging tool for dumping the second stage
page-tables under debugfs.

From the previous feedback I re-worked the series and added support for
guest page-tables dumping under VHE & nVHE configuration. I extended the
list of reviewers as I missed the interested parties in the first round. 

When CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS is enabled under pKVM environment,
ptdump registers the 'host_stage2_kernel_page_tables' entry with debugfs.
Guests are registering a file named '%u_guest_stage2_page_tables' when
they are created. 

This allows us to dump the host stage-2 page-tables with the following command:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/host_stage2_kernel_page_tables.

The output is showing the entries in the following format:
<IPA range> <size> <descriptor type> <access permissions> <mem_attributes>

The tool interprets the pKVM ownership annotation stored in the invalid
entries and dumps to the console the ownership information. To be able
to access the host stage-2 page-tables from the kernel, a new hypervisor
call was introduced which allows us to snapshot the page-tables in a host
provided buffer. The hypervisor call is hidden behind CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG
as this should be used under debugging environment.

Changelog:
  v1 -> v2:
  * use the stage-2 pagetable walker for dumping descriptors instead of
    the one provided by ptdump.

  * support for guests pagetables dumping under VHE/nVHE non-protected

Thanks,
