* Please note notable changes in memory layouts and kasan population *
This patchset allows to have a single kernel for sv39 and sv48 without
being relocatable.
The idea comes from Arnd Bergmann who suggested to do the same as x86,
that is mapping the kernel to the end of the address space, which allows
the kernel to be linked at the same address for both sv39 and sv48 and
then does not require to be relocated at runtime.
This implements sv48 support at runtime. The kernel will try to
boot with 4-level page table and will fallback to 3-level if the HW does not
support it. Folding the 4th level into a 3-level page table has almost no
cost at runtime.
Note that kasan region had to be moved to the end of the address space
since its location must be known at compile-time and then be valid for
both sv39 and sv48 (and sv57 that is coming).
Tested on:
- qemu rv64 sv39: OK
- qemu rv64 sv48: OK
- qemu rv64 sv39 + kasan: OK
- qemu rv64 sv48 + kasan: OK
- qemu rv32: OK
Changes in v3:
- Fix SZ_1T, thanks to Atish
- Fix warning create_pud_mapping, thanks to Atish
- Fix k210 nommu build, thanks to Atish
- Fix wrong rebase as noted by Samuel
- * Downgrade to sv39 is only possible if !KASAN (see commit changelog) *
- * Move KASAN next to the kernel: virtual layouts changed and kasan population *
Changes in v2:
- Rebase onto for-next
- Fix KASAN
- Fix stack canary
- Get completely rid of MAXPHYSMEM configs
- Add documentation
