Subject[PATCH v3 1/2] x86/mm/ident_map: Add PUD level 1GB page support
Message-ID<tDe41-54j-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
The current kernel_ident_mapping_init() creates the identity
mapping always using 2MB page(PMD level), this patch adds the
1GB page(PUD level) support.

The primary advantage would be better TLB coverage/performance,
because we'd utilize 1GB TLBs instead of 2MB ones.

It is also useful for machines with large number of memory to
save paging structure allocations(around 4MB/TB using 2MB page)
when setting identity mappings for all the memory, after using
1GB page it will consume only 8KB/TB.

x86/mm: Add support for gbpages to kernel_ident_mapping_init()

Kernel identity mappings on x86-64 kernels are created in two
ways: by the early x86 boot code, or by kernel_ident_mapping_init().

Native kernels (which is the dominant usecase) use the former,
but the kexec and the hibernation code uses kernel_ident_mapping_init().

There's a subtle difference between these two ways of how identity
mappings are created, the current kernel_ident_mapping_init() code
creates identity mappings always using 2MB page(PMD level) - while
the native kernel boot path also utilizes gbpages where available.

This difference is suboptimal both for performance and for memory
usage: kernel_ident_mapping_init() needs to allocate pages for the
page tables when creating the new identity mappings.

This patch adds 1GB page(PUD level) support to kernel_ident_mapping_init()
to address these concerns.

The primary advantage would be better TLB coverage/performance,
because we'd utilize 1GB TLBs instead of 2MB ones.

It is also useful for machines with large number of memory to
save paging structure allocations(around 4MB/TB using 2MB page)
when setting identity mappings for all the memory, after using
1GB page it will consume only 8KB/TB.

( Note that this change alone does not activate gbpages in kexec,
  we are doing that in a separate patch. )
