Memory Layout on AArch64 Linux

This document describes the virtual memory layout used by the AArch64
|
|
Linux kernel. The architecture allows up to 4 levels of translation
|
|
tables with a 4KB page size and up to 3 levels with a 64KB page size.
|
|
|
|
AArch64 Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4KB page
|
|
configuration, allowing 39-bit (512GB) virtual addresses for both user
|
|
and kernel. With 64KB pages, only 2 levels of translation tables are
|
|
used but the memory layout is the same.
|
|
|
|
User addresses have bits 63:39 set to 0 while the kernel addresses have
|
|
the same bits set to 1. TTBRx selection is given by bit 63 of the
|
|
virtual address. The swapper_pg_dir contains only kernel (global)
|
|
mappings while the user pgd contains only user (non-global) mappings.
|
|
The swapper_pgd_dir address is written to TTBR1 and never written to
|
|
TTBR0.
