scripts/gdb: add mm introspection utils
This command provides a way to traverse the entire page hierarchy by a given virtual address on x86. In addition to qemu's commands info tlb/info mem it provides the complete information about the paging structure for an arbitrary virtual address. It supports 4KB/2MB/1GB and 5 level paging. Here is an example output for 2MB success translation: (gdb) translate-vm address cr3: cr3 binary data 0x1085be003 next entry physical address 0x1085be000 --- bit 3 page level write through False bit 4 page level cache disabled False level 4: entry address 0xffff8881085be7f8 page entry binary data 0x800000010ac83067 next entry physical address 0x10ac83000 --- bit 0 entry present True bit 1 read/write access allowed True bit 2 user access allowed True bit 3 page level write through False bit 4 page level cache disabled False bit 5 entry has been accessed True bit 7 page size False bit 11 restart to ordinary False bit 63 execute disable True level 3: entry address 0xffff88810ac83a48 page entry binary data 0x101af7067 next entry physical address 0x101af7000 --- bit 0 entry present True bit 1 read/write access allowed True bit 2 user access allowed True bit 3 page level write through False bit 4 page level cache disabled False bit 5 entry has been accessed True bit 7 page size False bit 11 restart to ordinary False bit 63 execute disable False level 2: entry address 0xffff888101af7368 page entry binary data 0x80000001634008e7 page size 2MB page physical address 0x163400000 --- bit 0 entry present True bit 1 read/write access allowed True bit 2 user access allowed True bit 3 page level write through False bit 4 page level cache disabled False bit 5 entry has been accessed True bit 7 page size True bit 6 page dirty True bit 8 global translation False bit 11 restart to ordinary True bit 12 pat False bits (59, 62) protection key 0 bit 63 execute disable True [dmitrii.bundin.a@gmail.com: add SPDX line, other tweaks] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230113175151.22278-1-dmitrii.bundin.a@gmail.com [akpm@linux-foundation.org: s/physicall/physical/] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230102171014.31408-1-dmitrii.bundin.a@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Dmitrii Bundin <dmitrii.bundin.a@gmail.com> Acked by: Mike Rapoport (IBM) <rppt@kernel.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Cc: Kieran Bingham <kbingham@kernel.org> Cc: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
