[RFC PATCH 0/3] riscv: Add riscv.fwsz kernel parameter to save memory

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

 



From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The firmware of riscv (such as opensbi) occupy 2MB(64bit) /
4MB(32bit) in Linux. It's very wasteful to small memory footprint
soc chip such as Allwinner D1s/F133. The kernel parameter gives a
chance to users to set the proper size of the firmware and get
more than 1.5MB of memory.

Guo Ren (3):
  riscv: Remove 2MB offset in the mm layout
  riscv: Add early_param to decrease firmware region
  riscv: Add riscv.fwsz kernel parameter
