[PATCH 2/7] x86/mm: Drop page table entry address output from pxd_ERROR()
Posted by Anshuman Khandual 2 months, 2 weeks ago
This drops page table entry address output from all pxd_ERROR() definitions
which now matches with other architectures. This also prevents build issues
while transitioning into pxdp_get() based page table entry accesses.

Could you be a _little_ more specific than "build issues"?  Is it that
you want to do:

 void pmd_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd)
 {
-        pmd_ERROR(*pmd);
+        pmd_ERROR(pmdp_get(pmd));
         pmd_clear(pmd);
 }

But the pmd_ERROR() macro would expand that to:

	&pmdp_get(pmd)

which is nonsense?

Having the PTEs' kernel addresses _is_ handy, but I guess they're
scrambled on most end users' systems now and anybody that's actively
debugging can just use a kprobe or something to dump the pmd_clear_bad()
argument directly.

Yes, that's the one which fails the build with the following warning.

error: lvalue required as unary '&' operand

Will update the commit message with these details about the build problem.

Right.
