[PATCHv4 11/12] arm64: Add 16K page size support

Suzuki K. Poulose suzuki.poulose at arm.com
Mon Oct 19 06:19:37 PDT 2015


This patch turns on the 16K page support in the kernel. We
support 48bit VA (4 level page tables) and 47bit VA (3 level
page tables).

With 16K we can map 128 entries using contiguous bit hint
at level 3 to map 2M using single TLB entry.

TODO: 16K supports 32 contiguous entries at level 2 to get us
1G(which is not yet supported by the infrastructure). That should
be a separate patch altogether.

Changes since V3:
  - Fix CONT_SHIFT - Spotted by: Jeremey Linton
  - Add comments around FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
  - Fix the nits pointed out by Markt show

Changes since V2:
  - Add CONT_SHIFT definitions for 16K
  - Disable KVM for now - Recommended by Marc & Christoffer

+	  The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
+	  blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
+	  pages.  This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
+	  keeps in the memory allocator.  If you need to allocate very large
+	  blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
+	  increase this value.
+
+	  This config option is actually maximum order plus one. For example,
+	  a value of 11 means that the largest free memory block is 2^10 pages.
+
+	  We make sure that we can allocate upto a HugePage size for each configuration.
+	  Hence we have :
+		MAX_ORDER = (PMD_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + 1 => PAGE_SHIFT - 2
+
+	  However for 4K, we choose a higher default value, 11 as opposed to 10, giving us
+	  4M allocations matching the default size used by generic code.
