Subject: [PATCH 3/9] actual generic PAGE_SIZE infrastructure
Date: Fri, 01 Sep 2006 12:08:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060901190807.522EDD97@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060901190805.C906A21A@localhost.localdomain>
* Add _ALIGN_UP() which we'll use now and _ALIGN_DOWN(), just for
parity.
* Define ASM_CONST() macro to help using constants in both assembly
and C code. Several architectures have some form of this, and
they will be consolidated around this one.
* Actually create PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SIZE macros
* For now, require that architectures enable GENERIC_PAGE_SIZE in
order to get this new code. This option will be removed by the
last patch in the series, and makes the series bisect-safe.
* Note that this moves the compiler.h define outside of the
#ifdef __KERNEL__, but that's OK because it has its own.

+ The kernel page size determines the basic chunk of memory handled
+ by the Linux VM. If these pages are larger, the kernel can
+ use the same amount of physical memory with fewer data structures.
+ This reduces the VM overhead in handling large amounts of data.
+ Larger pages can also lead to better TLB coverage for large memory
+ applications.
+
+ However, larger pages also lead to memory being wasted by the
+ kernel since all files require a minimum of one page of memory.
+ With a 64KB page size, a 1 byte file will consume 64KB of memory.
+
+ A 4KB pagesize is fairly standard and may be required for 32-bit
+ compatibility on many platforms.
+
+ It is usually not wise to select another page size than the default.
