ARM64’s contig PTE > should have similar effect of RISC-V’s SVNAPOT, right? I have not thought about it yet. ARM64 has native 64K MMU. The kernel can directly configure the page size as 64K and MMU will do translation at corresponding granularity. So I doubt if there is a need to implement 64K Page Size based on CONT PTE. If you want to use CONT PTE for acceleration instead of 64K MMU, maybe you can have a try on THP_CONTPTE[1] which has been merged~ [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/935887/ Best regards, Xu Lu > > > > > Xu Lu (21): > > riscv: mm: Distinguish hardware base page and software base page > > riscv: mm: Configure satp with hw page pfn > > riscv: mm: Reimplement page table entry structures > > riscv: mm: Reimplement page table entry constructor function > > riscv: mm: Reimplement conversion functions between page table entry > > riscv: mm: Avoid pte constructor during pte conversion > > riscv: mm: Reimplement page table entry get function > > riscv: mm: Reimplement page table entry atomic get function > > riscv: mm: Replace READ_ONCE with atomic pte get function > > riscv: mm: Reimplement PTE A/D bit check function > > riscv: mm: Reimplement mk_huge_pte function > > riscv: mm: Reimplement tlb flush function > > riscv: mm: Adjust PGDIR/P4D/PUD/PMD_SHIFT > > riscv: mm: Only apply svnapot region bigger than software page > > riscv: mm: Adjust FIX_BTMAPS_SLOTS for variable PAGE_SIZE > > riscv: mm: Adjust FIX_FDT_SIZE for variable PMD_SIZE > > riscv: mm: Apply Svnapot for base page mapping if possible > > riscv: Kconfig: Introduce 64K page size > > riscv: Kconfig: Adjust mmap rnd bits for 64K Page > > riscv: mm: Adjust address space layout and init page table for 64K > > Page > > riscv: mm: Update EXEC_PAGESIZE for 64K Page > > > > arch/riscv/Kconfig | 34 +- > > arch/riscv/include/asm/fixmap.h | 3 +- > > arch/riscv/include/asm/hugetlb.h | 5 + > > arch/riscv/include/asm/page.h | 56 ++- > > arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable-32.h | 12 +- > > arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable-64.h | 128 ++++-- > > arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable-bits.h | 3 +- > > arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable.h | 564 +++++++++++++++++++++++--- > > arch/riscv/include/asm/tlbflush.h | 26 +- > > arch/riscv/include/uapi/asm/param.h | 24 ++ > > arch/riscv/kernel/head.S | 4 +- > > arch/riscv/kernel/hibernate.c | 21 +- > > arch/riscv/mm/context.c | 7 +- > > arch/riscv/mm/fault.c | 15 +- > > arch/riscv/mm/hugetlbpage.c | 30 +- > > arch/riscv/mm/init.c | 45 +- > > arch/riscv/mm/kasan_init.c | 7 +- > > arch/riscv/mm/pgtable.c | 111 ++++- > > arch/riscv/mm/tlbflush.c | 31 +- > > arch/s390/include/asm/hugetlb.h | 2 +- > > include/asm-generic/hugetlb.h | 5 +- > > include/linux/pgtable.h | 21 + > > kernel/events/core.c | 6 +- > > mm/debug_vm_pgtable.c | 6 +- > > mm/gup.c | 10 +- > > mm/hmm.c | 2 +- > > mm/hugetlb.c | 4 +- > > mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c | 2 +- > > mm/memory.c | 4 +- > > mm/mprotect.c | 2 +- > > mm/ptdump.c | 8 +- > > mm/sparse-vmemmap.c | 2 +- > > mm/vmscan.c | 2 +- > > 33 files changed, 1029 insertions(+), 173 deletions(-) > > create mode 100644 arch/riscv/include/uapi/asm/param.h > > > > -- > > 2.20.1 > > > Best Regards, > Yan, Zi
