Don't we already do this for dumping the page tables themselves at oops time?Yes, we already do the walk in oops function, I'll extend the dump_rmpentry() to use the level from the oops to avoid the duplicate walk.
I was even thinking that you could use the pmd/pte entries that come from the walk in dump_pagetable(). BTW, I think the snp_lookup_page_in_rmptable() interface is probably wrong. It takes a 'struct page': +struct rmpentry *snp_lookup_page_in_rmptable(struct page *page, int *level) but then immediately converts it to a paddr:
+ unsigned long phys = page_to_pfn(page) << PAGE_SHIFT;
If you just had it take a paddr, you wouldn't have to mess with all of this pfn_valid() and phys_to_page() error checking.

It can certainly return !p*_present() entries. Those are *NOT* safe to call pfn_to_page() on.I will add some checks to make sure that we are accessing only safe pfn's.
Or fix the snp_lookup_page_in_rmptable() interface, please.

That's a good example, thanks! But, it does make me think that we shouldn't be spitting out "immutable". Should we call it "readonly" or something so that folks have a better chance of figuring out what's wrong? Even better, should we be looking specifically for X86_PF_RMP *and* immutable=1 and spitting out something in english about it? This also *looks* to be spitting out the same "RMPEntry paddr 0x20cee00000" more than once. Maybe we should just indent the extra entries instead of repeating things. The high/low are missing a "0x" prefix, they also don't have any kind of text label.

Also, how much of this stuff like rmpentry_asid() is duplicated in the "raw" dump of e->high and e->low?Most of the rmpentry_xxx assessors read the e->low. The RMP entry is a 16-bytes. AMD APM defines only a few bits and keeps everything else reserved. We are in the process of updating APM to document few more bits. I am not adding assessors for the undocumented fields. Until then, we dump the entire 16-bytes. I agree that we are duplicating the information. I can live with just a raw dump. That means anyone who is debugging the crash will look at the APM to decode the fields.
I actually really like processing the fields. I think it's a good investment to make the error messages as self-documenting as possible and not require the poor souls who are decoding oopses to also keep each vendor's architecture manuals at hand.

This also needs a comment about *WHY* this case is looking at a 2MB region.Actually the comment above says why we are looking for the 2MB region. Let me rearrange the comment block so that its more clear. The reason for iterating through 2MB region is; if the faulting address is not assigned in the RMP table, and page table walk level is 2MB then one of entry within the large page is the root cause of the fault. Since we don't know which entry hence I dump all the non-zero entries.
Logically you can figure this out though, right? Why throw 511 entries at the console when we *know* they're useless?

In this case, we know its a assigned page, and we can decode the fields. The #2 will happen in rare conditions,
What rare conditions?
if it happens, one of the undocumented bit in the RMP entry can provide us some useful information hence we dump the raw values.
You're saying that there are things that can cause RMP faults that aren't documented? That's rather nasty for your users, don't you think? I'd be fine if you want to define a mask of unknown bits and spit out to the users that some unknown bits are set.
