SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=============================== +Architecture Page Table Helpers +=============================== + +Generic MM expects architectures (with MMU) to provide helpers to create, access +and modify page table entries at various level for different memory functions. +These page table helpers need to conform to a common semantics across platforms. +Following tables describe the expected semantics which can also be tested during +boot via CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE option. All future changes in here or the debug +test need to be in sync. + + +PTE Page Table Helpers +====================== +
