[RFC PATCH v2 01/21] riscv: mm: Distinguish hardware base page and software base page

From: Xu Lu
Date: Thu Dec 05 2024 - 05:38:16 EST


The key idea to implement larger base page based on MMU that only
supports 4K page is to decouple the MMU page from the software page in
view of kernel mm. In contrary to software page, we denote the MMU page
as hardware page.

To decouple these two kinds of pages, we should manage, allocate and map
memory at a granularity of software page, which is exactly what existing
mm code does. The page table operations, however, should configure page
table entries at a granularity of hardware page, which is the
responsibility of arch code.

This commit introduces the concept of hardware base page for RISCV.
