I didn’t try FLATMEM. Thanks for advising, I enabled FLATMEM for ARM64 and am able to save ~14M. Will post a new patch for Kconfig changes. Thanks, -Nikunj On 7/5/18, 11:35 AM, "Catalin Marinas" wrote: On Tue, Jul 03, 2018 at 06:35:32PM +, Nikunj Kela (nkela) wrote: > We are trying

[PATCH 2/2] arm64: add support for 43bit physical address

2018-07-02 Thread Nikunj Kela
This patch adds support for 43bit physical address. Additionally, this patch adds support for 27bit section size. This is useful in reducing kernel memory usage. One usecase is in kdump kernel. Cc: xe-ker...@external.cisco.com Cc: Nikunj Kela Signed-off-by: Nikunj Kela --- arch/arm64/Kconfig |
