[PATCH 0/3] x86: Make 5-level paging support unconditional for x86-64

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

 



Both Intel and AMD CPUs support 5-level paging, which is expected to
become more widely adopted in the future.

Remove CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL.

In preparation to that remove CONFIG_DYNAMIC_MEMORY_LAYOUT and make
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the only memory model.

Kirill A. Shutemov (3):
  x86/64/mm: Always use dynamic memory layout
  x86/64/mm: Make SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the only memory model
  x86/64/mm: Make 5-level paging support unconditional
