[PATCH 7/8] arm64: use 'physmem' memblock to improve CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM handling

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

 



The 'physmem' memblock table allows us to classify memory as RAM even
if it is not covered by the ordinary 'memory' memblock table.

Under CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM, we can use this to:
- allow read-only access to parts of RAM that are not considered memory
  by the kernel, this is mainly intended for exposing UEFI configuration
  tables such as SMBIOS to userland;
- avoid using non-cached mappings for those parts of RAM, as it may
  result in mismatched attributes.
