No idea why it was a lot higher in my mind.


I have only encountered one board with the memory over 512GB. I can't

So I found the answer. This was AMD Seattle where the memory start at 
512GB. So I will map Xen starting at 2TB (so there is a bit of slack).

Yes. I will update it.


switch the TTBR with the MMU on.

In order to be compliant, we need to disable the MMU before
switching the TTBR. The implication is the page-tables should
contain an identity mapping of the code switching the TTBR.

If we don't rework the memory layout, we would need to find a
virtual address that matches a physical address and doesn't clash
with the static virtual regions. This can be a bit tricky.

This sentence is a bit misleading. Even with the rework you need
to do that just by moving the Xen virtual address upper you make
sure that anything physical memory under 512GB can be mapped
1:1 without clashing with other Xen mappings (unless Xen is loaded
in memory at physical address 512GB which would end in the same issue).


So the key difference is with the rework, it is trivial to create the 1:1 
mapping as we know it doesn't clash. This is not the case without the rework.


Agree




I think should be rephrased.


I am not entirely sure how to rephrase it. Do you have a proposal?


Turn it into the positive:
Rework the memory layout to put Xen over 512GB. This makes it trivial to create
a 1:1 mapping, with the assumption that the physical memory is under 512GB.


I will use this wording in the next version.

So I don't think a comment is necessary because this is not specific to a

Right I should have thought of the compilation error.


TBH, I would have preferred to keep the single instruction. AFAICT, the 
immediate should be either between 0 - 4095. Or a number between 4096 
and 2^24 that is 4KB aligned.


So it would not suit us here.

If we don't rework the memory layout, we would need to find a

On arm64, the memory layout  has plenty of unused space. In most of

The memory layout is reshuffled to keep the 0th slot free. Xen will now
be loaded at (512GB + 2MB). This requires a slight tweak of the boot

[PATCH early-RFC 2/5] xen/arm64: Rework the memory layout

2022-03-09 Thread Julien Grall
From: Julien Grall 

Xen is currently not fully compliant with the Arm because it will
switch the TTBR with the MMU on.

In order to be compliant, we need to disable the MMU before
switching the TTBR. The implication is the page-tables should
contain an identity mapping of the code switching the TTBR.

If we don't rework the memory layout, we would need to find a
virtual address that matches a physical address and doesn't clash
with the static virtual regions. This can be a bit tricky.

On arm64, the memory layout  has plenty of unused space. In most of
the case we expect Xen to be loaded in low memory.

The memory layout is reshuffled to keep the 0th slot free. Xen will now
be loaded at (512GB + 2MB). This requires a slight tweak of the boot
code as XEN_VIRT_START cannot be used as an immediate.

TODO:
- I vaguely recall that one of the early platform we supported add
  the memory starting in high memory (> 1TB). I need to check
  whether the new layout will be fine.
- Update the documentation to reflect the new layout
