[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v3 2/4] docs, xen/arm: Introduce static heap memory
This commit introduces the static heap memory, which is parts of RAM
reserved in the beginning of the boot time for heap.
Firstly, since a new type of memory bank is needed for marking the
memory bank solely as the heap, this commit defines `enum membank_type`
and use this enum in function device_tree_get_meminfo(). Changes of
code are done accordingly following the introduction of this enum.
Also, this commit introduces the logic to parse the static heap
configuration in device tree. If the memory bank is reserved as heap
through `xen,static-heap` property in device tree `chosen` node, the
memory will be marked as static heap type.
A documentation section is added, describing the definition of static
heap memory and the method of enabling the static heap memory through
device tree at boot time.

Changes from v2 to v3:
- Define `enum membank_type` properly, drop the typedef.
- Rename the feature terminology to static heap.
- Rename MEMBANK_MEMORY to MEMBANK_DEFAULT and MEMBANK_XEN_DOMAIN to
MEMBANK_STATIC_DOMAIN. Add comments to `enum membank_type`.
- Correct typo, add the clarification of the static heap region
should contain enough memory below 4GB to cater 32-bit DMA for Arm32,
and add the 64KB alignment requirement in doc.
- Add Stefano's Acked-by for device tree interface.
Changes from v1 to v2:
- Rename the device tree property to xen,static-heap to avoid confusion.
- Change of commit msg and doc wording, correct typo in commit msg.
- Do not change the process_chosen_node() return type.
- Add an empty line in make_memory_node() memory type check to improve
readability.
- Use enum membank_type to make the memory type cleaner.
Changes from RFC to v1:
- Rename the terminology to reserved heap.

+Static Heap Memory
+==================
+
+The static heap memory refers to parts of RAM reserved in the beginning of
+boot time for heap. The memory is reserved by configuration in the device
+tree using physical address ranges.
+
+The static heap memory declared in the device tree defines the memory areas
+that will be reserved to be used exclusively as heap.
+
+- For Arm32, since there are separated heaps, the static heap will be used
+for both domheap and xenheap. The admin should make sure that the static
+heap region should contain enough memory below 4GB to cater 32-bit DMA.
+
+- For Arm64, since there is a single heap, the defined static heap areas
+shall always go to the heap allocator.
+
+The static heap memory is an optional feature and can be enabled by adding
+below device tree properties in the `chosen` node.
+
+The dtb should have the following properties:
+
+- xen,static-heap
+
+ Property under the top-level "chosen" node. It specifies the address
+ and size of Xen static heap memory. Note that at least a 64KB
+ alignment is required.
+
+- #xen,static-heap-address-cells and #xen,static-heap-size-cells
+
+ Specify the number of cells used for the address and size of the
+ "xen,static-heap" property under "chosen".
+
+Below is an example on how to specify the static heap in device tree:
+
+ / {
+ chosen {
+ #xen,static-heap-address-cells = <0x2>;
+ #xen,static-heap-size-cells = <0x2>;
+ xen,static-heap = <0x0 0x30000000 0x0 0x40000000>;
+ ...
+ };
+ };
+
+RAM starting from the host physical address 0x30000000 of 1GB size will
+be reserved as static heap.
