    mm/debug: add tests validating architecture page table helpers · 399145f9
    Anshuman Khandual authored
    This adds tests which will validate architecture page table helpers and
    other accessors in their compliance with expected generic MM semantics.
    This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing
    page table helpers or addition of new ones.
    
    This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not
    limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various
    level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page
    and validating them.
    
    Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size
    and alignments.  The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a
    real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol.  This test gets called
    via late_initcall().
    
    This test gets built and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected.
    Any architecture, which is willing to subscribe this test will need to
    select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE.  For now this is limited to arc, arm64,
    x86, s390 and powerpc platforms where the test is known to build and run
    successfully Going forward, other architectures too can subscribe the test
    after fixing any build or runtime problems with their page table helpers.
    
    Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers
    conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config
    which will just trigger this test during boot.  Any non conformity here
    will be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed.  This test
    will help catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from
    generic MM and enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.
