[RFC PATCH 0/5] KVM: arm64: Add support for contiguous PTE/PMD hugepages at stage2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, we support the following page sizes at stage2:

                PTE     PMD     PUD
               -----   -----   -----
 4K granule:     4K      2M      1G
16K granule:    16K     32M
64K granule:    64K    512M

And we have Contiguous bit[52] in stage2 VMSAv8-64 block and page
descriptors. As ARM ARM said, when the value of the Contiguous bit
is 1, it indicates that the entry is one of a number of adjacent
translation table entries that point to a contiguous output address
range.

This series add support for contiguous PTE/PMD hugepages at stage2
and then we can create huge mappings with following additional
sizes:

                CONT PTE     CONT PMD
                --------     --------
 4K granule:      64K          32M
16K granule:       2M           1G
64K granule:       2M          16G

These patches are based on v5.1.0-rc7 and have been tested on
Taishan 2280 server (D05) with 4K and 64K granule.

Any comments will be appreciated, thanks!
