[PATCH 0/3] arm64/ptdump: Add cmdline 'early_ptdump'

From: Anshuman Khandual <hidden>
Date: 2025-09-10 09:46:36
Also in: linux-efi, lkml

Enable early kernel page table dump for debug purpose when required through
a new kernel command line option 'early_ptdump'. But first this reorganizes
ptdump_init() separating out the debugfs creation, so that it can be called
early on in setup_arch(). This also adds kernel dmesg console print support
for existing pt_dump_seq_[printf|puts]() helpers.

This series applies on v6.17-rc5
