From: Mark Rutland mark.rutland@arm.com
commit 1d08a044cf12aee37dfd54837558e3295287b343 upstream.
In ptdump_check_wx(), we pass walk_pgd() a start address of 0 (rather than VA_START) for the init_mm. This means that any reported W&X addresses are offset by VA_START, which is clearly wrong and can make them appear like userspace addresses.
Fix this by telling the ptdump code that we're walking init_mm starting at VA_START. We don't need to update the addr_markers, since these are still valid bounds regardless.
