When memory protection is enabled, the hyp code will require a basic form of memory management in order to allocate and free memory pages at EL2. This is needed for various use-cases, including the creation of hyp mappings or the allocation of stage 2 page tables. To address these use-case, introduce a simple memory allocator in the hyp code. The allocator is designed as a conventional 'buddy allocator', working with a page granularity. It allows to allocate and free physically contiguous pages from memory 'pools', with a guaranteed order alignment in the PA space. Each page in a memory pool is associated with a struct hyp_page which holds the page's metadata, including its refcount, as well as its current order, hence mimicking the kernel's buddy system in the GFP infrastructure. The hyp_page metadata are made accessible through a hyp_vmemmap, following the concept of SPARSE_VMEMMAP in the kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
