Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/mm: warn on W+x mappings
Warn on any residual W+x mappings after setting NX
if DEBUG_WX is enabled. Introduce a separate
X86_PTDUMP_CORE config that enables the code for
dumping the page tables without enabling the debugfs
interface, so that DEBUG_WX can be enabled without
exposing the debugfs interface. Switch EFI_PGT_DUMP
to using X86_PTDUMP_CORE so that it also does not require
enabling the debugfs interface.
On success:
x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
On failure:

v2 addresses Kees' concern about being able to enable this check
without enabling the debugfs interface, and reworks the output to
present failure and success in the manner suggested by Ingo.
