| |
This series enables the 16K page size support on Linux for arm64. Adds support for 48bit VA(4 level), 47bit VA(3 level) and 36bit VA(2 level) with 16K. 16K was a late addition to the architecture and is not implemented by all CPUs. Added a check to ensure the selected granule size is supported by the CPU, failing which the CPU won't proceed with booting. Also the kernel page size is added to the kernel image header (patch from Ard).
KVM support has been dropped from this series, as we need to rewrite the KVM stage-2 pagetable handling code to get rid of the fake page table levels (as recommended by Christoffer and Marc). So, with 16K, we cannot run KVM.
Patches 1-8 cleans up the kernel page size handling code. Patch 9 Adds a check to ensure the CPU supports the selected granule size. Patch 10 Adds the page size information to image header. Patches 11-12 Adds the support for 16K page size
This series applies on top for aarch64:for-next/core with Contiguous bit support for kernel pagetables.
The tree is also available here:
git://linux-arm.org/linux-skp.git 16k/v4-aarch64-4.3-next
This version remains fairly the same with v3, except for some minor changes:
Changes since V3: - Fix CONT_SHIFT for 16K (spotted by Jeremy Linton) - More comments around the pgtable helper macros - Picked up a new patch from Mark to simplify the calculation NR_FIX_BTMAPS - Added description for the logic behind FORCE_MAXZONE_ORDER - Addressed other review comments - Added reviews/acks
Changes since V2: - Dropped KVM support patches - Added proper comments for the page-table helper macros - Change ARM64_HW_PGTABLE_LEVEL_SHIFT() to accept page table level as described by ARM ARM. - Added reviews/acks - Added CONT_SHIFT for 16K
Changes since V1: - Rebase to 4.3-rc1 - Fix vmemmap_populate for 16K (use !ARM64_SWAPPER_USES_SECTION_MAPS) - Better description for patch2 (suggested-by: Ard)
