commit a5968a553f6a6c170254520038f69cb49ff7d191 Author: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Thu May 5 11:46:57 2022 +0100 Commit: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Thu May 5 11:47:09 2022 +0100 SUPPORT.MD: Correct the amount of physical memory supported for Arm As part of XSA-385, SUPPORT.MD gained a statement regarding the amount of physical memory supported. However, booting Xen on a Arm platform with that amount of memory would result to a breakage because the frametable area is too small. The wiki [1] (as of April 2022) claims we were able to support up to 5 TiB on Arm64 and 16 GiB. However, this is not the case because the struct page_info has always been bigger than expected (56 bytes for 64-bit and 32-bytes for 32-bit). I don't have any HW with such amount of memory. So rather than modifying the code, take the opportunity to use the limit that should work on Arm (2 TiB for 64-bit and 12 GiB for 32-bit).
