print_bad_pte() looks like something that should actually be a WARN or similar, but historically it apparently has proven to be useful to detect corruption of page tables even on production systems -- report the issue and keep the system running to make it easier to actually detect what is going wrong (e.g., multiple such messages might shed a light). As we want to unify vm_normal_page_*() handling for PTE/PMD/PUD, we'll have to take care of print_bad_pte() as well. Let's prepare for using print_bad_pte() also for non-PTEs by adjusting the implementation and renaming the function to print_bad_page_map(). Provide print_bad_pte() as a simple wrapper. Document the implicit locking requirements for the page table re-walk. To make the function a bit more readable, factor out the ratelimit check into is_bad_page_map_ratelimited() and place the printing of page table content into __print_bad_page_map_pgtable(). We'll now dump information from each level in a single line, and just stop the table walk once we hit something that is not a present page table. The report will now look something like (dumping pgd to pmd values): [ 77.943408] BUG: Bad page map in process XXX pte:80000001233f5867 [ 77.944077] addr:00007fd84bb1c000 vm_flags:08100071 anon_vma: ... [ 77.945186] pgd:10a89f067 p4d:10a89f067 pud:10e5a2067 pmd:105327067 Not using pgdp_get(), because that does not work properly on some arm configs where pgd_t is an array. Note that we are dumping all levels even when levels are folded for simplicity.

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 reStructuredText 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.
