Subject: [PATCH 0/2] arm64: mm: optimize VA space organization for 52-bit
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2020 00:49:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201006224953.8432-1-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
This series reorganizes the kernel VA space slightly so that 52-bit VA
configurations can use more virtual address space, i.e., the usable
linear address space almost doubles, from 2^51 to 2^52-2^47.
Patch #1 merges the physvirt_offset and memstart_addr, both of which
represent translations between the physical address space and the linear
region, and there is no need for having both. This fixes a bug too, as
the two values were not properly kept in sync when booting with KASLR
enabled.
Patch #2 updates the definitions for the boundaries of the linear space,
so that 52-bit VA builds use all available space for the linear region.
Not tested yet on a 52-bit VA capable system.
