Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 19/19] x86/mm: Add PKS table debug checking
Add a runtime checker that scans the currently used page tables to check
that they are all protected on the direct map, in the case of PKS
tables. Use the recently added page table traverser.
There are many possible ways to modify and allocate page tables. In
order to catch any missed cases, just traverse the active tables every
second and check the direct map protection for each.
This feature is intended for debugging only. Another way to do this
without the awkward timers, is to check each page while contructing the
PTE. It may be useful for enhance the protection as well. But this could
miss any strange wrong page table modifications hidden away somewhere in
the kernel. So for debug time, the scanner is a little more thorough.
