Subject: [PATCH 3.16 165/366] x86/mm: Prevent kernel Oops in PTDUMP code
 with HIGHPTE=y

3.16.60-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

commit d6ef1f194b7569af8b8397876dc9ab07649d63cb upstream.

The walk_pte_level() function just uses __va to get the virtual address of
the PTE page, but that breaks when the PTE page is not in the direct
mapping with HIGHPTE=y.

The result is an unhandled kernel paging request at some random address
when accessing the current_kernel or current_user file.

Use the correct API to access PTE pages.

Fixes: fe770bf0310d ('x86: clean up the page table dumper and add 32-bit support')

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Keep using pte_pgprot() to get protection flags
 - Adjust context]
