Patch series "Fix W+X debug feature on x86" Jan alerted me[1] that the W+X detection debug feature was broken in x86 by my change[2] to switch x86 to use the generic ptdump infrastructure. Fundamentally the approach of trying to move the calculation of effective permissions into note_page() was broken because note_page() is only called for 'leaf' entries and the effective permissions are passed down via the internal nodes of the page tree. The solution I've taken here is to create a new (optional) callback which is called for all nodes of the page tree and therefore can calculate the effective permissions. Secondly on some configurations (32 bit with PAE) "unsigned long" is not large enough to store the table entries. The fix here is simple - let's just use a u64.

To calculate the actual effective permissions it is necessary to observe the full hierarchy of the page tree. Introduce a new callback for ptdump which is called for every entry and can therefore update the prot_levels array correctly. note_page() can then simply access the appropriate element in the array.

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.
