From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: steve.capper@linaro.org (Steve Capper) Date: Fri, 2 May 2014 16:17:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH V2] arm64: mm: Create gigabyte kernel logical mappings where possible Message-ID: <1399043829-9036-1-git-send-email-steve.capper@linaro.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org We have the capability to map 1GB level 1 blocks when using a 4K granule. This patch adjusts the create_mapping logic s.t. when mapping physical memory on boot, we attempt to use a 1GB block if both the VA and PA start and end are 1GB aligned. This both reduces the levels of lookup required to resolve a kernel logical address, as well as reduces TLB pressure on cores that support 1GB TLB entries. Signed-off-by: Steve Capper --- Changed in V2: free the original pmd table from swapper_pg_dir if we replace it with a block pud entry. Catalin, pud_pfn would give us the pud pointed to by a huge pud. (so will resolve to a gigabyte aligned address when << PAGE_SHIFTed). What we want is the pointer to the pmd table. I've opted to go for pmd_offset as it's easier to gauge intent. (I know we convert from PA->VA->PA, but this will probably compile out, and is done once on boot...). I've tested this with 3 and 4 levels on the Model (and a load of debug printing that I've removed from the patch).
