[PATCH v3 08/60] arm64: vmemmap: Avoid base2 order of struct page size to dimension region

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Tue Mar 07 2023 - 09:07:47 EST


The placement and size of the vmemmap region in the kernel virtual
address space is currently derived from the base2 order of the size of a
struct page. This makes for nicely aligned constants with lots of
leading 0xf and trailing 0x0 digits, but given that the actual struct
pages are indexed as an ordinary array, this resulting region is
severely overdimensioned when the size of a struct page is just over a
power of 2.

This doesn't matter today, but once we enable 52-bit virtual addressing
for 4k pages configurations, the vmemmap region may take up almost half
of the upper VA region with the current struct page upper bound at 64
bytes. And once we enable KMSAN or other features that push the size of
a struct page over 64 bytes, we will run out of VMALLOC space entirely.

So instead, let's derive the region size from the actual size of a
struct page, and place the entire region 1 GB from the top of the VA
space, where it still doesn't share any lower level translation table
entries with the fixmap.
