Subject[RFC 00/23] arm64: Add support for 64KB page granularity in Xen guest
Date
Hi all,

ARM64 Linux is supporting both 4KB and 64KB page granularity. Although, Xen
hypercall interface and PV protocol are always based on 4KB page granularity.

Any attempt to boot a Linux guest with 64KB pages enabled will result to a
guest crash.

This series is a first attempt to allow those Linux running with the current
hypercall interface and PV protocol.

This solution has been chosen because we want to run Linux 64KB in released
Xen ARM version or/and platform using an old version of Linux DOM0.

There is room for improvement, such as support of 64KB grant, modification
of PV protocol to support different page size... They will be explored in a
separate patch series later.

TODO list:
- Network not working well in the guest when using DOM0 64KB
- swiotlb not yet converted to 64KB pages

Note that the first 9 patches of the series is a cleanup of the code.

A branch based on 4.1-rc3 can be found here:

git://xenbits.xen.org/people/julieng/linux-arm.git branch xen-64k-v0

Comments, suggestions are welcomed.

Sincerely yours,
