Subject: [PATCH v4 02/10] KVM: arm64: Add ptdump registration with debugfs for the stage-2 pagetables

While arch/*/mem/ptdump handles the kernel pagetable dumping code,
introduce KVM/ptdump which deals with the stage-2 pagetables. The
separation is necessary because most of the definitions from the
stage-2 pagetable reside in the KVM path and we will be invoking
functionality **specific** to KVM.

This registers a wrapper on top of debugfs_create_file which allows us
to hook callbacks on the debugfs open/show/close. The callbacks are used
to prepare the display portion of the pagetable dumping code.
Guard this functionality under the newly introduced PTDUMP_STAGE2_DEBUGFS.

It isn't really a good idea to mount debugfs at all in a production
system. There are already plenty worse interfaces lurking in that
filesystem. The pKVM portions already depend on CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG,
so I don't see a need for this Kconfig option.

You've got the comment styles backwards for these. The SPDX license uses
the 'C++' style comment (//), whereas your multiline comment should always
use a 'C' style comment (/* */).

Please thoroughly consider the necessity of this. You're wrapping a
callback structure with yet another callback structure. IMO, it would
make a lot more sense to implement the file ops structure for every
walker variant you need and avoid the indirection, it's hard to
understand.

Why can't all of this be called from finalize_pkvm()?

I created a separate option because I wanted to re-use the parsing
functionality from the already existing ptdump code for EL1. This option
is turned off in production and only enabled for debug.

I was thinking to make use of the `CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG` but then I abandoned
this ideea as one can use ptdump for vHE as well.

I think we can drop this and have different file_ops.

I guess it can be called from finalize_pkvm before the is_protected_kvm_enabled
check. This should work for nvhe & vhe as well.

Fair enough. I was going to say we could just have KVM follow
CONFIG_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS, but it doesn't matter either way.

support first.
