[PATCH 0/4] mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs

[Anshuman Khandual]

The series reworks generic PTDUMP configs before eventually renaming them
after some basic clean ups first. This is derived after splitting changes
from the following patch.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250205050039.1506377-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

This series applies on v6.14-rc2 and has been tested on arm64. Although it
also builds on other platforms as well.

[PATCH 1/4] configs: Drop GENERIC_PTDUMP from debug.config

[Anshuman Khandual]

The platforms that support GENERIC_PTDUMP select the config explicitly. But
enabling this feature on platforms that don't really support - does nothing
or might cause a build failure. Hence just drop GENERIC_PTDUMP from generic
debug.config

[PATCH 2/4] mm: Make DEBUG_WX depdendent on GENERIC_PTDUMP

[Anshuman Khandual]

DEBUG_WX selects PTDUMP_CORE without even ensuring that the given platform
implements GENERIC_PTDUMP. This problem has been latent until now, as all
the platforms subscribing ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX also subscribe GENERIC_PTDUMP.

[PATCH 3/4] mm: Make GENERIC_PTDUMP dependent on MMU

[Anshuman Khandual]

There is no page table dump without a MMU. Make this dependency at generic
level and drop the same from riscv platform instead.

Are you sure this works as expected ?

See https://docs.kernel.org/kbuild/kconfig-language.html :

Note:
     select should be used with care. select will force a symbol to a 
value without visiting the dependencies. By abusing select you are able 
to select a symbol FOO even if FOO depends on BAR that is not set. In 
general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts anywhere) 
and for symbols with no dependencies.

As Christophe has pointed out - this is broken. The select will override
the dependency you've added in GENERIC_PTDUMP. Generally have "depends
on" for symbols that are "select"ed is broken. I'd suggest just dropping
this patch.

Agreed, will drop this patch. Thanks Steven and Christophe for the
explanation here regarding correct usage regarding the "select"'s
construct.

[PATCH 4/4] mm: Rename GENERIC_PTDUMP and PTDUMP_CORE

[Anshuman Khandual]

Platforms subscribe into generic ptdump implementation via GENERIC_PTDUMP.
But generic ptdump gets enabled via PTDUMP_CORE. These configs combination
is confusing as they sound very similar and does not differentiate between
platform's feature subscription and feature enablement for ptdump. Rename
the configs as ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP and PTDUMP making it more clear and improve
readability.

For me GENERIC_PTDUMP is more explicit and similar to GENERIC_IOMAP or 
GENERIC_IOREMAP or GENERIC_GETTIMEOFDAY: The arch provides the necessary 
helpers to use the generic implementation.

For me ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP just mean't that an architecture implements 
PTDUMP, it doesn't mean it does it by using the generic infrastructure.

For instance, arm32 implements PTDUMP but without using the generic one 
so I would say that arm32 has PTDUMP and expect it to select ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP

I do realize that GENERIC_ is another method for achieving shared
feature across multiple platforms via providing necessary helpers.
But I guess there might be a difference - it might not have other
similar but separate dependent configs ?

>

ARCH_HAS_XXX indicates that an architecture subscribes to a generic
feature XXX, by implementing all necessary helpers. But the feature
in itself is a generic and a shared one.

If the platform were to implement a feature on its own without any
generic component, it could do that via a separate platform specific
config without requiring ARCH_HAS_XXX based subscription indication.

> 
> For instance, arm32 implements PTDUMP but without using the generic one so I would say that arm32 has PTDUMP and expect it to select ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP

Actually it does not need to select ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP, as it does not
subscribe into generic PTDUMP. Let's see PTDUMP configs on arm (32)

ARM_PTDUMP_CORE
ARM_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS	--> select ARM_PTDUMP_CORE
ARM_DEBUG_WX 		--> select ARM_PTDUMP_CORE

The platform has a self contained PTDUMP implementation which does
not depend on generic PTDUMP at all. Hence all these ptdump configs
are marked as ARM_ etc as they are platform specific.

I'm not sure about your interpretation.

For instance CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ILOG2_U32 means that a plateform provides 
its own implementation. When this is _NOT_ defined, then the generic 
implementation is used instead.

Not sure. Usually when a plateform needs something generic it subscribes 
to something like CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB

That's the reason why I believe the wording CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SOMETHING is 
not appropriate.

I'm not going to bikeshed over the naming, but a few points below.

I think we should drop CONFIG_GENERIC_PTDUMP/CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP from
this list. It's not a user-selectable symbol so there's no need to be
documenting it here.

I'd suggest dropp this from the defconfig too, just like patch 1 dropped
it from debug.config.

Thanks for spotting that.

That one is wrong. Was introduced by commit d210ee3fdfe8 
("powerpc/configs: Update config files for removed/renamed symbols") 
which aimed at fixing commit e084728393a5 ("powerpc/ptdump: Convert 
powerpc to GENERIC_PTDUMP") but it did it wrong.

It is CONFIG_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS that is wanted.

Should this replacement be done in the series or would you like it
to be handled in powerpc later ?
