[patch 3/3] arch_rebalance_pgtables call

2007-11-12 Thread schwidefsky
From: Martin Schwidefsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] In order to change the layout of the page tables after an mmap has crossed the adress space limit of the current page table layout a architecture hook in get_unmapped_area is needed. The arguments are the address of the new mapping and the length of it.

[patch 0/3] page table changes

2007-11-12 Thread schwidefsky
Hi Andrew, more than 2 weeks have passed since I posted my six page table patches to linux-kernel/linux-arch. Nobody complained so far (keeping fingers crossed..) and Ben has a use for the first two patches on powerpc as well. Next logical step would be to add the patches that affect common code

[patch 2/3] CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.

2007-11-12 Thread schwidefsky
From: Martin Schwidefsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables have 256 page table entries (pte)

Well, since the size of the kernel stack is one page, I figured it will grow when switching to 64-bit, because some of the types grow and a similar flow/stack will be bigger in 64-bit in comparison to 32-bit. Keeping the page size at 4kb and so keeping the stack at 4kb is a bit dangerous.
