commit fb5222aae64fe25e5f3ebefde8214dcf3ba33ca5 upstream.
Patch series "page table check fixes and cleanups", v5.
This patch (of 4):
The pte entry that is used in pte_advanced_tests() is never removed from
the page table at the end of the test.
The issue is detected by page_table_check, to repro compile kernel with
the following configs:
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED=y
During the boot the following BUG is printed:
debug_vm_pgtable: [debug_vm_pgtable ]: Validating architecture page table helpers
------------[ cut here ]------------

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
