[PATCH v3] arm64: mm: increase VA range of identity map

Ard Biesheuvel ard.biesheuvel at linaro.org
Thu Feb 26 01:16:55 PST 2015


The page size and the number of translation levels, and hence the supported
virtual address range, are build-time configurables on arm64 whose optimal
values are use case dependent. However, in the current implementation, if
the system's RAM is located at a very high offset, the virtual address range
needs to reflect that merely because the identity mapping, which is only used
to enable or disable the MMU, requires the extended virtual range to map the
physical memory at an equal virtual offset.

This patch relaxes that requirement, by increasing the number of translation
levels for the identity mapping only, and only when actually needed, i.e.,
when system RAM's offset is found to be out of reach at runtime.

v3:
- Fix potential issue where the assumption would not hold that lowering T0SZ
  would always result in an additional level of translation to be configured.
- Use EXTRA_PTRS not PTRS_PER_PGD: doesn't really make a difference in practice,
  but it looks more correct.
- Increased verbosity of the comments
- Dropped # prefixes for immediates in asm, per Will's request
- Retained Laura's Tested-by tag since the emitted code is identical

v2:
- Dropped hunk regarding KVM, this will be addressed separately. Note that the
  build is still broken on Seattle if you have KVM enabled and 4k pages with
  3 levels of translation configured, but at least you have something to watch
  on your console now
- Fix ordering wrt TLB flushing
- Set T0SZ based on actual leading zero count in __pa(KERNEL_END), the net
  result is the same (one additional level of translation, if needed)
