[RFC 0/2] mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64

[Anshuman Khandual]

Last argument passed down in note_page() is u64 assuming pxd_val() returned
value (all page table levels) is 64 bit - which might not be the case going
ahead when D128 page tables is enabled on arm64 platform. Besides pxd_val()
is very platform specific and its type should not be assumed in generic MM.

This series splits note_page() into individual page table level specific
callbacks which accepts corresponding pxd_t page table entry as an argument
instead and later all subscribing platforms could derive pxd_val() from the
entries as required and proceed as before.

Page table entry's value, mask and protection are represented with pteval_t
not u64 that has been assumed while dumping the page table entries on arm64
platform. Replace such u64 instances with pteval_t instead as expected.

This series has been lightly tested on arm64 platform but it does build on
other relevant platforms (v6.14-rc5).

Some questions:

- Is there a better method to address this problem than splitting current
  note_page() into multiple call backs as proposed here ?

- This replaces note_page(st, 0, -1, 0) with note_page_pte(st, 0, pte_zero)
  Is that problematic ? Does level = -1 has got a special meaning ? Should
  level = -1 case be handled differently possibly via a separate callback ?
