Thanks for David, Nish and Eric's reply! In the past 3 days I have fully tested libhugetlbfs on MIPS platform (Loongson 3A, a MIPS R4k arch imp). I worked fine.
Before I post the patch I want to get one thing clear: do I have to support --hugetlbfs-link option? Is this a MUST? Since I have only make the code to support --hugetlbfs-align. I don't want to do the dirty work of writing ldscripts for MIPS. --hugetlbfs-align is truely enough for us. Since I don't support --hugetlbfs-link option, some test programs in tests/ directory don't compile. Currently I simply comment them out. What do you suggest to deal with this? User who use my patch should have binutil version >= 2.18 in order to support -zcommon-page-size, -zmax-page-size LD options. 2011/1/13 9:27, David Gibson Wrote: > On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 01:51:26AM +0800, Yu Huang wrote: >> Hi guys, >> >> I am trying to make it possible for MIPS to utilize libhugetlbfs.
