Currently the arm page table dumping code starts dumping page tables
from USER_PGTABLES_CEILING. This is unnecessary for skipping any entries
related to userspace as the swapper_pg_dir does not contain such
entries, and results in a couple of unfortuante side effects.
Firstly, any kernel mappings which might exist below
USER_PGTABLES_CEILING will not be accounted in the dump output. This
masks any entries erroneously created below this address.
Secondly, if the final page table entry walked is part of a valid
mapping the page table dumping code will not log the region this entry
is part of, as the final note_page call in walk_pgd will trigger an
early return when 0 < USER_PGTABLES_CEILING. Luckily this isn't seen on
contemporary systems as they typically don't have enough RAM to extend
the linear mapping right to the end of the address space.
Due to the way addr is constructed in the walk_* functions, it can never
be less than USER_PGTABLES_CEILING when walking the page tables, so it
is not necessary to avoid dereferencing invalid table addresses. The
existing checks for st->current_prot and st->marker[1].start_address are
sufficient to ensure we will not print and/or dereference garbage when
trying to log information.
This patch removes both problematic uses of USER_PGTABLES_CEILING from
the arm page table dumping code, preventing both of these issues. We
will now report any low mappings, and the final note_page call will not
return early, ensuring all regions are logged.

For LPAE, we have the following means for encoding writable or dirty
ptes:
L_PTE_DIRTY L_PTE_RDONLY
!pte_dirty && !pte_write 0 1
!pte_dirty && pte_write 0 1
pte_dirty && !pte_write 1 1
pte_dirty && pte_write 1 0
So we can't distinguish between writeable clean ptes and read only
ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as
read only when they are writeable but not dirty.
This patch renumbers L_PTE_RDONLY from AP[2] to a software bit #58,
and adds additional logic to set AP[2] whenever the pte is read only
or not dirty. That way we can distinguish between clean writeable ptes
and read only ptes.
HugeTLB pages will use this new logic automatically.
We need to add some logic to Transparent HugePages to ensure that they
correctly interpret the revised pgprot permissions (L_PTE_RDONLY has
moved and no longer matches PMD_SECT_AP2). In the process of revising
THP, the names of the PMD software bits have been prefixed with L_ to
make them easier to distinguish from their hardware bit counterparts.

On non-LPAE ARMv6+, read-only PMD bits are defined with the combination
"PMD_SECT_APX | PMD_SECT_AP_WRITE". Adjusted the bit masks to correctly
report this.

On 2-level page table systems, the PMD has 2 section entries. Report
these, otherwise ARM_PTDUMP will miss reporting permission changes on
odd section boundaries.

This patch allows the kernel page tables to be dumped via a debugfs file,
allowing kernel developers to check the layout of the kernel page tables
and the verify the various permissions and type settings.
