Hello Bradley,

Sorry for my late reply, I'll merge this patch into v1.6.3.

Sorry, I missed it as well. Patch looks fine to me.However, I think /* 1GB Section*/ comment can be improved. Infact, other existing /* 1GB Section*/ comment for PMD type is wrong.

Thanks for your work.

makedumpfile was generating large (> 500MB) vmcore files for an arm64
board with 2GB of DRAM.  It was not excluding any pages because the
mem_map address was not being converted correctly.

readmem: Can't convert a virtual address(ffffffc07fff6000) to physical
address.
readmem: type_addr: 0, addr:ffffffc07fff6000, size:16
section_mem_map_addr: Can't get a struct mem_section(ffffffc07fff6000).
mem_map (0)
mem_map : 0

makedumpfile was not handling 1GB sections in the PGD and was trying to
drill down to a PTE in which it was trying to dereference invalid
memory.  This patch adds code to check the PGD for a section type and
handle it instead of treating it as a table entry.

May be we can write above comment like:
/* 1GB section for Page Table level = 4 and Page Size = 4KB*/

I think the other existing /* 1GB section */ comment for PMD_TYPE should be
/* 512MB section for Page Table level = 3 and Page Size = 64KB*/
