From fb597f2a393294f3d3012ecb314f43b60fa48359 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gregory Fong Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 15:12:30 +0100 Subject: ARM: 8980/1: Allow either FLATMEM or SPARSEMEM on the multiplatform build ARMv7 chips with LPAE can often benefit from SPARSEMEM, as portions of system memory can be located deep in the 36-bit address space. Allow FLATMEM or SPARSEMEM to be selectable at compile time; FLATMEM remains the default. This is based on Kevin's "[PATCH 3/3] ARM: Allow either FLATMEM or SPARSEMEM on the multi-v7 build" from [1] and shamelessly rips off his commit message text above. As Arnd pointed out at [2] there doesn't seem to be any reason to tie this specifically to ARMv7, so this has been changed to apply to all multiplatform kernels. The addition of this option does not change the defaults and a build with any defconfig will behave the same way as previously. The only effect this change has is to enable user to change "Memory model" selection in interactive kernel configuration (menuconfig, xconfig etc).
