[PATCH 1/3] mini-os: mm: introduce generic page table walk function
Posted by Juergen Gross 3 months, 3 weeks ago
In x86 mm code there are multiple instances of page table walks for
different purposes.

Introduce a generic page table walker being able to cover the current
use cases. It will be used for other cases in future, too.

The page table walker needs some per-level data, so add a table for
that data. Merge it with the already existing pt_prot[] array.

Rewrite get_pgt() to use the new walker.

It seems that this kind of va+lvl-to-index computation happens several
times? It's probably worth making it a macro.

Agreed.
