Although my choice was pgdval_t, I still cannot tell which one is better. - Jungseok Lee

I'm not sure if it would be better to define > pudval_t for <4 levels or leave this as is? I would leave it as is for now, PUD_TABLE_BIT is already defined as pgdval_t. I'll have a look Jungseok and maybe we can clean them up there. Patch applied. Thanks.

We have the capability to map 1GB level 1 blocks when using a 4K granule. This patch adjusts the create_mapping logic s.t. when mapping physical memory on boot, we attempt to use a 1GB block if both the VA and PA start and end are 1GB aligned. This both reduces the levels of lookup required to resolve a kernel logical address, as well as reduces TLB pressure on cores that support 1GB TLB entries. Signed-off-by: Steve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org> --- Changed in V3: added awareness of 1GB blocks to kern_addr_valid. This was tested via gdb: gdb ./vmlinux /proc/kcore disassemble kern_addr_valid The output looked valid. In V2 of the patch, I got an oops. I've defined constants with pgdval_t type. Ideally, I would like to define pudval_t types, but due to the way folding works this does not exist for <4 levels. I'm not sure if it would be better to define pudval_t for <4 levels or leave this as is? Changed in V2: free the original pmd table from swapper_pg_dir if we replace it with a block pud entry. --- arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable-hwdef.h | 2 ++ arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable.h | 7 +++++++ arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c | 28 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
