Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 13/20] x86: mm: carve out the generic compile-time folded pgtable case in effective_prot()
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:30:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722-dummy_ptxp3-v2-13-d9e4bad31e0a@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722-dummy_ptxp3-v2-0-d9e4bad31e0a@arm.com>

From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david@kernel.org>

The behaviour of pXdp_get() will change with generic compile-time folded
page tables. To prepare for that, rework effective_prot() to ignore any
folded page tables entries, as it will unconditionally get called by
ptdump core with pXd_val(pXdp_get()), and we really should be ignoring
that value for folded entries.

For this, introduce ptdump_pt_level_first() to identify the first real
page-table level and update effective_prot with higher_prot only
when the current entry is not folded nor the first level.

There should be no functional change.
