From d7a771816d938f9d8d04b24fd07d2f3f52e73f99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Brodkin Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2019 16:15:28 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] linux: Set MMU page size for ARC processors ARC processors have configurable size of MMU page. This configuration happens during ASIC design and couldn't be changed in final silicone not to mention runtime changes. Given PAGE_SIZE macro is used a lot throughout the Linux kernel sources we just hardcode a required value during the kernel configuration. We used to support different MMU page sizes for ARC in Buildroot for quite some time now but so far we only tweaked uClibc on the matter. That left us with the kernel configured with whatever was in used defconfig. In most of real cases that's OK because typically we're building firmware for a particular ASIC which is supposed to have a unique kernel defconfig. But if we're dealing with FPGA-based boards or even simlators like Synopsys DesignWare nSIM or QEMU it's possible to have dfferent MMU page size configured in that target mostly for the sake of testing. And so we're trying to solve 2 problems here: 1. Make sure both user-space (via libc settings) and the Linux kernel are "on the same page", i.e. expect to use the same MMU page size. 2. Simplify process of testing different page sizes. As now we first need to set page size in Buildroot and then in the kernel via "make linux-configure" or via Kconfig fragment.
