From: joel.schopp@amd.com (Joel Schopp) Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 15:38:59 -0500 Subject: [PATCH v6 2/7] arm64: Introduce VA_BITS and translation level options In-Reply-To: References: <000101cf6dc6$3b93d510$b2bb7f30$@samsung.com> Message-ID: <53C43FE3.1050008@amd.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org I agree that these patches would be very useful. I just rebased my fix for a VTTBR_BADDR_MASK bug on one of these patches that could be pulled out independently. See https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/kvmarm/2014-July/010480.html The original author Jungseok Lee is no longer available to work on future versions of these patches. I was thinking that if they didn't get picked up as they are that with the original author's blessing I would pick them up and keep them forward ported/resubmitted. I have an SOC to test them on. -Joel On 07/14/2014 02:53 PM, Timur Tabi wrote: > On Mon, May 12, 2014 at 4:40 AM, Jungseok Lee wrote: >> This patch adds virtual address space size and a level of translation >> tables to kernel configuration.
