[PATCH V4 0/6] 52-bit userspace VAs

[Steve Capper <steve.capper@arm.com>]

This patch series brings support for 52-bit userspace VAs to systems that
have ARMv8.2-LVA and are running with a 48-bit VA_BITS and a 64KB
PAGE_SIZE.

If no hardware support is present, the kernel runs with a 48-bit VA space
for userspace.

Userspace can exploit this feature by providing an address hint to mmap
where addr[51:48] != 0. Otherwise all the VA mappings will behave in the
same way as a 48-bit VA system (this is to maintain compatibility with
software that assumes the maximum VA size on arm64 is 48-bit).

This patch series applies to 4.20-rc1.

Testing was in a model with Trusted Firmware and UEFI for boot.

Changed in V4, pgd_index changes dropped in favour of offsetting the
ttbr1. This is performed in a new patch, #4.

Changed in V3, COMPAT fixes added (and tested with 32-bit userspace code).
Extra patch added to allow forcing all userspace allocations to come from
52-bits (to allow for debugging and testing).

The major change to V2 of the series is that mm/mmap.c is altered in the
first patch of the series (rather than copied over to arch/arm64).


Steve Capper (6):
  mm: mmap: Allow for "high" userspace addresses
  arm64: mm: Introduce DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW
  arm64: mm: Define arch_get_mmap_end, arch_get_mmap_base
  arm64: mm: Offset TTBR1 to allow 52-bit PTRS_PER_PGD
  arm64: mm: introduce 52-bit userspace support
  arm64: mm: Allow forcing all userspace addresses to 52-bit
