MMU
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
U-Boot uses a simple page table for MMU setup. It uses the smallest number of bits
|
||||||
|
possible for the virtual address based on the maximum memory address (see the logic
|
||||||
|
in ``get_tcr()``). If this is less than 39 bits, the MMU will use only 3 levels for
|
||||||
|
address translation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As with all platforms, U-Boot on ARM64 uses a 1:1 mapping of virtual to physical addresses.
|
||||||
|
In general, the memory map is expected to remain static once the MMU is enabled.

Software pagetable walker
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is possible to debug the pagetable generated by U-Boot with the built in
|
||||||
|
``dump_pagetable()`` and ``walk_pagetable()`` functions (the former being a simple
|
||||||
|
wrapper for the latter). For example the following can be added to ``setup_all_pgtables()``
|
||||||
|
after the first call to ``setup_pgtables()``:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: c
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
dump_pagetable(gd->arch.tlb_addr, get_tcr(NULL, NULL));
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. kernel-doc:: arch/arm/cpu/armv8/cache_v8.c
|
||||||
|
:identifiers: __pagetable_walk pagetable_print_entry
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The pagetable walker can be used as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. kernel-doc:: arch/arm/include/asm/armv8/mmu.h
|
||||||
|
:identifiers: pte_walker_cb_t walk_pagetable dump_pagetable
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will result in a print like the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: text
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
