x86/mm/dump_pagetables: Speed up page tables dump for CONFIG_KASAN=y
KASAN fills kernel page tables with repeated values to map several TBs of the virtual memory to the single kasan_zero_page: kasan_zero_p4d -> kasan_zero_pud -> kasan_zero_pmd-> kasan_zero_pte-> kasan_zero_page Walking the whole KASAN shadow range takes a lot of time, especially with 5-level page tables. Since we already know that all kasan page tables eventually point to the kasan_zero_page we could call note_page() right and avoid walking lower levels of the page tables. This will not affect the output of the kernel_page_tables file, but let us avoid spending time in page table walkers: Before: $ time cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables > /dev/null real 0m55.855s user 0m0.000s sys 0m55.840s After: $ time cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables > /dev/null real 0m0.054s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.054s Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin <[email protected]> Acked-by: Kirill A.
