| Architecture defines a 64-bit virtual address. Implementations can support |
| less. Currently supported are 48- and 57-bit virtual addresses. Bits 63 |
| through to the most-significant implemented bit are sign extended. |
| This causes hole between user space and kernel addresses if you interpret them |
| as unsigned. |
| |
| The direct mapping covers all memory in the system up to the highest |
| memory address (this means in some cases it can also include PCI memory |
| holes). |
| |
| vmalloc space is lazily synchronized into the different PML4/PML5 pages of |
| the processes using the page fault handler, with init_top_pgt as |
| reference. |
| |
| We map EFI runtime services in the 'efi_pgd' PGD in a 64Gb large virtual |
| memory window (this size is arbitrary, it can be raised later if needed). |
| The mappings are not part of any other kernel PGD and are only available |
| during EFI runtime calls. |
| |
| The module mapping space size changes based on the CONFIG requirements for the |
| following fixmap section. |
| |
| Note that if CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY is enabled, the direct mapping of all |
| physical memory, vmalloc/ioremap space and virtual memory map are randomized. |
| Their order is preserved but their base will be offset early at boot time. |
