[PATCH v2 00/10] Introduce sv48 support without relocatable kernel

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

 



This patchset allows to have a single kernel for sv39 and sv48 without           
being relocatable.                                                               
                                                                                 
The idea comes from Arnd Bergmann who suggested to do the same as x86,           
that is mapping the kernel to the end of the address space, which allows         
the kernel to be linked at the same address for both sv39 and sv48 and           
then does not require to be relocated at runtime.                                
                                                                                 
This implements sv48 support at runtime. The kernel will try to                  
boot with 4-level page table and will fallback to 3-level if the HW does not     
support it. Folding the 4th level into a 3-level page table has almost no        
cost at runtime.
