Subject: [PATCH 1/1] arm64: mm: add config options for page table configuration
Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2016 11:40:00 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1481139600-24455-2-git-send-email-scott.branden@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1481139600-24455-1-git-send-email-scott.branden@broadcom.com>
Make MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS and SECTIONS_SIZE_BITS configurable by adding
config options.
Default to current settings currently defined in sparesmem.h.
For systems wishing to save memory the config options can be overridden.
Example, changing MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS from 48 to 36 at the same time as
changing SECTION_SIZE_BITS from 30 to 26 frees 13MB of memory.
