Subject: [PATCH 10/18] arm64: Support hugetlb vmemmap optimization
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 03:11:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708031129.3503195-11-jthoughton@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708031129.3503195-1-jthoughton@google.com>

Now that HVO is architecturally sound for arm64, enable support. Add a
new Kconfig for this support, as it comes with a regression, described
below.

Add a comment about BBML2_NOABORT where HVO is relying on it.

If a late-onlined CPU does not support HVO (HW AF and BBML2_NOABORT)
while all boot CPUs do support HVO, the late CPU won't be onlined after
this commit when a kernel is compiled with
HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP=y.
