[PATCH 00/11] arm64: ptdump: View the host stage-2 page-tables

Hi,

This can be used as a debugging tool for dumping the host stage-2
page-tables under pKVM envinronment.

When CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS is enabled, ptdump registers the
'host_stage2_kernel_page_tables' entry with debugfs and this allows us
to dump the host stage-2 page-tables with the following command:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/host_stage2_kernel_page_tables

The output is showing the entries in the following format:
<IPA range> <size> <descriptor type> <access permissions> <mem_attributes>

The tool interprets the pKVM ownership annotation stored in the invalid
entries and dumps to the console the ownership information. To be able
to access the host stage-2 page-tables from the kernel, a new hypervisor
call was introduced which allows us to snapshot the page-tables in a host
provided buffer. The hypervisor call is hidden behind CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG
as this should be used under debugging environment.

I verified this series with Qemu and Pixel 6 both using kvm-arm.mode=protected.

Thanks,
