[RFC] Variable Kernel Page size support

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

 



This patch is necessary for variable pagesize memmap support. Lots of asm 
that seems to work fine but may be in need of streamlining.


IA64: Variable Kernel Page size support

This patch adds the capability to manage pages of varying sizes for the
kernel in region 7. This is done by setting special bits in bits 54 to 60.

54-59 Page size.

If set then the default pagesize of region 7 is overridden on a fault
and a TLB of the requested size is inserted. This may be used to
manually control the coverage of a single TLB. A macro SET_TLB_SIZE
is provide that can be used upon a kernel address to encode the
desired page size. Code must refer to the address range through
this address in order to get the desired TLB size.

60 Page table enable.

If set then a lookup is performed using the region7_pgdir table.
That table is segmented into 8 section for the varying page
sizes supported.

0 = _PAGE_SIZE_64K
1 = _PAGE_SIZE_256K
2 = _PAGE_SIZE_1M
3 = _PAGE_SIZE_4M
4 = _PAGE_SIZE_16M
5 = _PAGE_SIZE_64M
6 = _PAGE_SIZE_256M and _PAGE_SIZE_4K and _PAGE_SIZE_8K
7 = _PAGE_SIZE_1G and PAGE_SIZE_16k

One should only use one page size per section.
