[PATCH v2 5/5] mm: ptdump: add check_wx_pages debugfs attribute

Tue Jan 30 21:34:36 AEDT 2024


Add a readable attribute in debugfs to trigger a
W^X pages check at any time.

To trigger the test, just read /sys/kernel/debug/check_wx_pages
It will report FAILED if the test failed, SUCCESS otherwise.

Detailed result is provided into dmesg.

v2: Make it a read attribute which reports SUCCESS/FAILED instead of only relying on kernel message log.
