Hi all,
In linux-2.6.35.4, the page size of kernel image is 2M, which means that the entity in pmd is PFN pointing to physical page.
For research, I want to change the page size of kernel image to 4K. I modified the content of pmd to make each entity of pmd point to a new page table.
Here is the my related code:
---------------------------------------------------------
542 pte = alloc_low_page(&pte_phys); // allocate a new page for page table
544 last_map_addr = phys_pte_init_remap(pte, address, end, new_prot); // initiate the entity of new page table
545 unmap_low_page(pte);
546
547 spin_lock(&init_mm.page_table_lock);
548 pmd_populate_kernel(&init_mm, pmd, __va(pte_phys)); // modify this pmd entiity, make it point to the address of new page table.
549
550 spin_unlock(&init_mm.page_table_lock);
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After adding those code to kernel source, I test the new complied kernel, but the kernel always reboot and can't work.
Thinking long time, I can't fix where the bug is.
Any suggestions for me?
Thanks,
Lee
