Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ARM: add CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G_OPT option
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2025 17:15:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251219161559.556737-3-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251219161559.556737-1-arnd@kernel.org>
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Unlike x86 and powerpc, there is currently no option to use exactly 2GiB
of lowmem on Arm. Since 2GiB is still a relatively common configuration
on embedded systems, it makes sense to allow this to be used in
non-highmem builds.
Add the Kconfig option and make this the default for non-LPAE builds
with highmem enabled instead of CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G. LPAE still requires
the vmsplit to be on a gigabyte boundary, so this is only available for
classic pagetables at the moment, same as CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G_OPT.
Tested in qemu -M virt, both with and without HIGHMEM enabled.
