Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 16:25:46 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116002546.CFA3FC116D0@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The patch titled
Subject: powerpc/mm: support page table check
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch. Its filename is
powerpc-mm-support-page-table-check.patch
This patch will shortly appear at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/powerpc-mm-support-page-table-check.patch
This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews. Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's
*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***
The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: powerpc/mm: support page table check
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2025 04:09:44 +1100
On creation and clearing of a page table mapping, instrument such calls by
invoking page_table_check_pte_set and page_table_check_pte_clear
respectively. These calls serve as a sanity check against illegal
mappings.
Enable ARCH_SUPPORTS_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK on powerpc, except when HUGETLB_PAGE
is enabled (powerpc has some weirdness in how it implements
set_huge_pte_at(), which may require some further work).
See also:
riscv support in commit 3fee229a8eb9 ("riscv/mm: enable
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK")
arm64 in commit 42b2547137f5 ("arm64/mm: enable
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK")
x86_64 in commit d283d422c6c4 ("x86: mm: add x86_64 support for page table
check")
