问题
I am doing a page table walk. When I am getting ready to update the kernel I get an error:
kernel/sys.c: In function ‘__do_sys_get_page_info’:
kernel/sys.c:2745:23: error: passing argument 1 of ‘pud_offset’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
pud = pud_offset(pgd, vmpage);
^
In file included from ./include/linux/mm.h:99:0,
from kernel/sys.c:19:
./arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:905:22: note: expected ‘p4d_t * {aka struct <anonymous> *}’ but argument is of type ‘pgd_t * {aka struct <anonymous> *}’
static inline pud_t *pud_offset(p4d_t *p4d, unsigned long address)
^
This is where the code is being used:
....
int loc, ref, dirty;
struct vm_area_struct *vma;
unsigned long vmpage;
struct mm_struct *task_mm = task->mm;
if ((task_mm && task_mm->mmap))
{
int i;
pgd_t *pgd;
pud_t *pud;
pmd_t *pmd;
pte_t *ptep, pte;
vma = task_mm->mmap;
while (vma)
{
for (vmpage = vma->vm_start, i = 1; vmpage < vma->vm_end; vmpage += PAGE_SIZE, i++)
{
pgd = pgd_offset(task_mm, vmpage);
if (pgd_none(*pgd) || pgd_bad(*pgd))
return 0;
pud = pud_offset(pgd, vmpage);
if (pud_none(*pud) || pud_bad(*pud))
return 0;
pmd = pmd_offset(pud, vmpage);
if (pmd_none(*pmd) || pmd_bad(*pmd))
return 0;
ptep = pte_offset_kernel(pmd, vmpage);
if (!ptep)
return 0;
pte = *ptep;
...
}
I looked up the errors and notes but didn't find anything about resolving this problem. Is this a well known problem or am I doing something wrong?

回答1:
I recently got the same problem and I found that just like pgd_offset and pud_offset, there is a p4d_offset. Put it between pgd and pud:
pgd_t *pgd;
p4d_t* p4d;
pud_t *pud;
pmd_t *pmd;
pte_t *ptep, pte;
...
pgd = pgd_offset(task_mm, vmpage);
if (pgd_none(*pgd) || pgd_bad(*pgd))
return 0;
p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, vmpage);
if (p4d_none(*p4d) || p4d_bad(*p4d))
return 0;
pud = pud_offset(p4d, vmpage);
if (pud_none(*pud) || pud_bad(*pud))
return 0;
...
Edit: Here is some information about the additional level: Five-level page tables.
It has been implemented in kernel version 4.11.
