This is more or less the same as the x86 page table dumper which was
merged four years ago: 926e5392 "x86: add code to dump the (kernel)
page tables for visual inspection by kernel developers".
We add a file at /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables for debugging
purposes so it's quite easy to see the kernel page table layout and
possible odd mappings:

This usually makes only sense for kernel developers. The output
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not very helpful, because of the
huge number of mapped out pages, however I decided for the time
being to not add a !DEBUG_PAGEALLOC dependency.
Maybe it's helpful for somebody even with that option.

|
|
This option restricts access to /dev/mem. If this option is
|
|
disabled, you allow userspace access to all memory, including
|
|
kernel and userspace memory. Accidental memory access is likely
|
|
to be disastrous.
|
|
Memory access is required for experts who want to debug the kernel.
|

|

If you are unsure, say Y.

---help---
|
|
Enabling this option turns a certain set of sanity checks for user
|
|
copy operations into compile time warnings.
|
|
|
|
The copy_from_user() etc checks are there to help test if there
|
|
are sufficient security checks on the length argument of
|
|
the copy operation, by having gcc prove that the argument is
|
|
within bounds.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, or if you run an older (pre 4.4) gcc, say N.

---help---

Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
|
|
debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
|
|
who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
|
|
It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production
|
|
kernel.

If in doubt, say "N"
