Hi Alistair/Jeremy,
I am working on a bug related to 1M hugepage size being registered on
Linux (Power 8 Baremetal - Garrison).
I was checking dmesg and it seems that 1M page size is coming from
firmware to Linux.
[ 0.000000] base_shift=20: shift=20, sllp=0x0130, avpnm=0x00000000,
tlbiel=0, penc=2
[ 1.528867] HugeTLB registered 1 MB page size, pre-allocated 0 pages
Should Linux support this page size? As afar as I know, this was an
unsupported page size in the past isn't it? If this should be supported
now, is there any specific reason for that?
Thanks,
