Subject: x86/mm/dump_pagetables: Check PAGE_PRESENT for real

From: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]>

commit c05344947b37f7cda726e802457370bc6eac4d26 upstream.

The check for a present page in printk_prot():

       if (!pgprot_val(prot)) {
                /* Not present */

is bogus. If a PTE is set to PAGE_NONE then the pgprot_val is not zero and the entry is decoded in bogus ways, e.g. as RX GLB. That is confusing when analyzing mapping correctness. Check for the present bit to make an informed decision.
