[RFC PATCH v1 44/57] arm64: Align sections to PAGE_SIZE_MAX

Ryan Roberts ryan.roberts at arm.com
Mon Oct 14 03:58:51 PDT 2024


Increase alignment of sections in nvhe hyp, vdso and final vmlinux image
from PAGE_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE_MAX. For compile-time PAGE_SIZE,
PAGE_SIZE_MAX == PAGE_SIZE so there is no change. For boot-time
PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE_MAX is the largest selectable page size.

For a boot-time page size build, image size is comparable to a 64K page
size compile-time build. In future, it may be desirable to optimize
run-time memory consumption by freeing unused padding pages when the
boot-time selected page size is less than PAGE_SIZE_MAX.
