Subject: [PATCH v2 13/20] arm64: Support hugetlb vmemmap optimization
Date: Sat,  3 Oct 2026 00:21:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261003002123.505555-14-jthoughton@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261003002123.505555-1-jthoughton@google.com>

Support HVO if HW AF and BBML3 are supported. These are the required
features for the vmemmap to be modified in place.

On arm64 systems that do not have the required hardware features to
support HVO, the HVO sysctl will not appear, and any attempts to enable
HVO (either via the command line or via
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP_DEFAULT_ON=y) will have no effect.
