Subject: Re: [PATCH] MIPS: Add support for ARCH_MMAP_RND_{COMPAT_}BITS
As can be seen from the following comment in arch/arm64/Kconfig:
""
# max bits determined by the following formula:
# VA_BITS - PAGE_SHIFT - 3
config ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS_MAX
"""
The max value was determined based on the available address space
(VA_BITS - PAGE_SHIFT) and an account of how far mmap_base could be
moved (the "- 3" part). MIPS uses the same calculation for the MAX_GAP
in arch/mips/mm/mmap.c, namely 5/6 the TASK_SIZE, so I'd expect a
similar formula for MIPS from a cursory first-glance.
These values likely will stick, so it'd be best to get them to be as
large as possible from the get-go. I imagine something similar to ARM64
would be set up based on the following in
arch/mips/include/asm/processor.h, but of course defer to the mips
maintainer:
"""
#ifdef CONFIG_MIPS_VA_BITS_48
#define TASK_SIZE64 (0x1UL <<
((cpu_data[0].vmbits>48)?48:cpu_data[0].vmbits))
#else
#define TASK_SIZE64 0x10000000000UL
#endif
"""
Thanks,
Dan
