Re: [PATCH] powerpc/32: disable KASAN with pages bigger than 16k

Le 28/05/2020 Ã 12:17, Christophe Leroy a ÃcritÂ:
Mapping of early shadow area is implemented by using a single static
page table having all entries pointing to the same early shadow page.
The shadow area must therefore occupy full PGD entries.

The shadow area has a size of 128Mbytes starting at 0xf8000000.
With 4k pages, a PGD entry is 4Mbytes
With 16k pages, a PGD entry is 64Mbytes
With 64k pages, a PGD entry is 256Mbytes which is too big.

That's for 32k pages that a PGD is 256Mbytes.

With 64k pages, a PGD entry is 1Gbytes which is too big.

Michael, can you fix the commit log ?

Thanks
Christophe


Until we rework the early shadow mapping, disable KASAN when the
page size is too big.
