[PATCH v4 0/2] Two-stagged initial page table setup

From: Anup Patel
Date: Thu May 02 2019 - 01:02:50 EST


This patchset implements two-stagged initial page table setup using fixmap
to avoid mapping non-existent RAM and also reduce high_memory consumed by
initial page tables.

The patchset is based on Linux-5.1-rc7 and tested on SiFive Unleashed board
and QEMU virt machine.

These patches can be found in riscv_setup_vm_v4 branch of
https//github.com/avpatel/linux.git

Changes since v3:
- Changed patch series subject.
- Dropped PATCH1 because it's already merged
- Dropped PATCH3 because trampoline page table handles a corner case
for 32bit systems where load address range overlaps kernel virtual
address range
- Revamped PATCH for 4K aligned booting into two-stagged initial page
table setup

Changes since v2:
- Dropped PATCH2 because we have separate fix for Linux-5.1-rcX
- Moved PATCH5 to PATCH2
- Moved PATCH4 to PATCH3
- The "Booting kernel from any 4KB aligned address" is now PATCH4

Changes since v1:
- Add kconfig option BOOT_PAGE_ALIGNED to enable 4KB aligned booting
- Improved initial page table setup code to select best/biggest
possible mapping size based on load address alignment
- Added PATCH4 to remove redundant trampoline page table
- Added PATCH5 to fix memory reservation in setup_bootmem()
