From e5008abe929c160d36e44b8c2b644d4330d2e389 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2015 17:24:12 -0800 Subject: x86/mm: Simplify enabling direct_gbpages direct_gbpages can be force enabled as an early parameter but not really have taken effect when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or KMEMCHECK is enabled. You can also enable direct_gbpages right now if you have an x86_64 architecture but your CPU doesn't really have support for this feature. In both cases PG_LEVEL_1G won't actually be enabled but direct_gbpages is used in other areas under the assumptions that PG_LEVEL_1G was set. Fix this by putting together all requirements which make this feature sensible to enable under, and only enable both finally flipping on PG_LEVEL_1G and leaving PG_LEVEL_1G set when this is true. We only enable this feature then to be possible on sensible builds defined by the new ENABLE_DIRECT_GBPAGES. If the CPU has support for it you can either enable this by using the DIRECT_GBPAGES option or using the early kernel parameter. If a platform had support for this you can always force disable it as well. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
