Christophe Leroy 6ca6512c71 powerpc/mm: Properly coalesce pages in ptdump
Commit aaa2295292 ("powerpc/mm: Add physical address to Linux page
table dump") changed range coalescing to only combine ranges that are
both virtually and physically contiguous, in order to avoid erroneous
combination of unrelated mappings in IOREMAP space.

But in the VMALLOC space, mappings almost never have contiguous
physical pages, so the commit mentionned above leads to dumping one
line per page for vmalloc mappings.

Taking into account the vmalloc always leave a gap between two areas,
we never have two mappings dumped as a single combination even if they
have the exact same flags. The only space that may have encountered
such an issue was the early IOREMAP which is not using vmalloc engine.
But previous commits added gaps between early IO mappings, so it is
not an issue anymore.

That commit created some difficulties with KASAN mappings, see
commit cabe8138b2 ("powerpc: dump as a single line areas mapping a
single physical page.") and with huge page, see
commit b00ff6d8c1 ("powerpc/ptdump: Properly handle non standard
page size").

So, almost revert commit aaa2295292 to properly coalesce pages
mapped with the same flags as before, only keep the display of the
first physical address of the range, as it can be usefull especially
for IO mappings.

It brings back powerpc at the same level as other architectures and
simplifies the conversion to GENERIC PTDUMP.

With the patch:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
