Memory Layout on AArch64 Linux
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Author: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
|
|
|
|
This document describes the virtual memory layout used by the AArch64
|
|
Linux kernel. The architecture allows up to 4 levels of translation
|
|
tables with a 4KB page size and up to 3 levels with a 64KB page size.
|
|
|
|
AArch64 Linux uses either 3 levels or 4 levels of translation tables
|
|
with the 4KB page configuration, allowing 39-bit (512GB) or 48-bit
|
|
(256TB) virtual addresses, respectively, for both user and kernel. With
|
|
64KB pages, only 2 levels of translation tables, allowing 42-bit (4TB)
|
|
virtual address, are used but the memory layout is the same.
|
|
|
|
ARMv8.2 adds optional support for Large Virtual Address space. This is
|
|
only available when running with a 64KB page size and expands the
|
|
number of descriptors in the first level of translation.
|
|
|
|
User addresses have bits 63:48 set to 0 while the kernel addresses have
|
|
the same bits set to 1. TTBRx selection is given by bit 63 of the
|
|
virtual address. The swapper_pg_dir contains only kernel (global)
|
|
mappings while the user pgd contains only user (non-global) mappings.
|
|
The swapper_pg_dir address is written to TTBR1 and never written to
|
|
TTBR0.

When using KVM without the Virtualization Host Extensions, the
|
|
hypervisor maps kernel pages in EL2 at a fixed (and potentially
|
|
random) offset from the linear mapping. See the kern_hyp_va macro and
|
|
kvm_update_va_mask function for more details. MMIO devices such as
|
|
GICv2 gets mapped next to the HYP idmap page, as do vectors when
|
|
ARM64_SPECTRE_V3A is enabled for particular CPUs.
|
|
|
|
When using KVM with the Virtualization Host Extensions, no additional
|
|
mappings are created, since the host kernel runs directly in EL2.
|
|
|
|
52-bit VA support in the kernel
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
If the ARMv8.2-LVA optional feature is present, and we are running
|
|
with a 64KB page size; then it is possible to use 52-bits of address
|
|
space for both userspace and kernel addresses. However, any kernel
|
|
binary that supports 52-bit must also be able to fall back to 48-bit
|
|
at early boot time if the hardware feature is not present.
|
|
|
|
This fallback mechanism necessitates the kernel .text to be in the
|
|
higher addresses such that they are invariant to 48/52-bit VAs. Due
|
|
to the kasan shadow being a fraction of the entire kernel VA space,
|
|
the end of the kasan shadow must also be in the higher half of the
|
|
kernel VA space for both 48/52-bit. (Switching from 48-bit to 52-bit,
|
|
the end of the kasan shadow is invariant and dependent on ~0UL,
|
|
whilst the start address will "grow" towards the lower addresses).
|
|
|
|
In order to optimise phys_to_virt and virt_to_phys, the PAGE_OFFSET
|
|
is kept constant at 0xFFF0000000000000 (corresponding to 52-bit),
|
|
this obviates the need for an extra variable read. The physvirt
|
|
offset and vmemmap offsets are computed at early boot to enable
|
|
this logic.
|
|
|
|
As a single binary will need to support both 48-bit and 52-bit VA
|
|
spaces, the VMEMMAP must be sized large enough for 52-bit VAs and
|
|
also must be sized large enough to accommodate a fixed PAGE_OFFSET.
|
|
|
|
Most code in the kernel should not need to consider the VA_BITS, for
|
|
code that does need to know the VA size the variables are
|
|
defined as follows:
|
|
|
|
VA_BITS constant the *maximum* VA space size
|
|
|
|
VA_BITS_MIN constant the *minimum* VA space size
|
|
|
|
vabits_actual variable the *actual* VA space size
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maximum and minimum sizes can be useful to ensure that buffers are
|
|
sized large enough or that addresses are positioned close enough for
|
|
the "worst" case.
|
|
|
|
52-bit userspace VAs
|
|
--------------------
|
|
To maintain compatibility with software that relies on the ARMv8.0
|
|
VA space maximum size of 48-bits, the kernel will, by default,
|
|
return virtual addresses to userspace from a 48-bit range.
|
|
|
|
Software can "opt-in" to receiving VAs from a 52-bit space by
|
|
specifying an mmap hint parameter that is larger than 48-bit.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
maybe_high_address = mmap(~0UL, size, prot, flags,...);
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to build a debug kernel that returns addresses
|
|
from a 52-bit space by enabling the following kernel config options:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_EXPERT=y && CONFIG_ARM64_FORCE_52BIT=y
|
|
|
|
Note that this option is only intended for debugging applications
|
|
and should not be used in production.
