Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] docs: riscv: Define behavior of mmap
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2024 17:07:02 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240130-use_mmap_hint_address-v3-3-8a655cfa8bcb@rivosinc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240130-use_mmap_hint_address-v3-0-8a655cfa8bcb@rivosinc.com>
Define mmap on riscv to not provide an address that uses more bits than
the hint address, if provided.

smaller than sv48, the CPU maximum supported address space will be the default.
Software can "opt-in" to receiving VAs from another VA space by providing
-a hint address to mmap. A hint address passed to mmap will cause the largest
-address space that fits entirely into the hint to be used, unless there is no
-space left in the address space. If there is no space available in the requested
-address space, an address in the next smallest available address space will be
-returned.

-For example, in order to obtain 48-bit VA space, a hint address greater than
-:code:`1 << 47` must be provided. Note that this is 47 due to sv48 userspace
-ending at :code:`1 << 47` and the addresses beyond this are reserved for the
-kernel. Similarly, to obtain 57-bit VA space addresses, a hint address greater
-than or equal to :code:`1 << 56` must be provided.
+a hint address to mmap. When a hint address is passed to mmap, the returned
+address will never use more bits than the hint address. For example, if a hint
+address of `1 << 40` is passed to mmap, a valid returned address will never use
+bits 41 through 63. If no mappable addresses are available in that range, mmap
+will return `MAP_FAILED`.
