From 383c2799113b00a5f12c820ff0fd3dfca9e5be89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 15:54:50 +0100 Subject: arm64: Add support for 48-bit VA space with 64KB page configuration This patch allows support for 3 levels of page tables with 64KB page configuration allowing 48-bit VA space. The pgd is no longer a full PAGE_SIZE (PTRS_PER_PGD is 64) and (swapper|idmap)_pg_dir are not fully populated (pgd_alloc falls back to kzalloc).
