[PATCH v2 1/2] arm64/mm: Introduce zero PGD table

Gavin Shan gshan at redhat.com
Wed Sep 23 01:37:20 EDT 2020


The zero PGD table is used when TTBR_EL1 is changed. It's exactly
the zero page. As the zero page(s) will be allocated dynamically
when colored zero page feature is enabled in subsequent patch. the
zero page(s) aren't usable during early boot stage.

This introduces zero PGD table, which is decoupled from the zero
page(s).
