sparc64: Multi-page size support
Add support for using multiple hugepage sizes simultaneously on mainline. Currently, support for 256M has been added which can be used along with 8M pages. Page tables are set like this (e.g. for 256M page): VA + (8M * x) -> PA + (8M * x) (sz bit = 256M) where x in [0, 31] and TSB is set similarly: VA + (4M * x) -> PA + (4M * x) (sz bit = 256M) where x in [0, 63] - Testing Tested on Sonoma (which supports 256M pages) by running stream benchmark instances in parallel: one instance uses 8M pages and another uses 256M pages, consuming 48G each. Boot params used: default_hugepagesz=256M hugepagesz=256M hugepages=300 hugepagesz=8M hugepages=10000 Signed-off-by: Nitin Gupta <nitin.m.gupta@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
