[PATCH v4 0/4] RISC-V: mm: Make SV48 the default address space

From: Charlie Jenkins
Date: Fri Jul 07 2023 - 21:12:20 EST


Make sv48 the default address space for mmap as some applications
currently depend on this assumption. Also enable users to select
desired address space using a non-zero hint address to mmap. Previous
kernel changes caused Java and other applications to be broken on sv57
which this patch fixes.

Documentation is also added to the RISC-V virtual memory section to explain
these changes.

v4:
- Split testcases/document patch into test cases, in-code documentation, and
formal documentation patches
- Modified the mmap_base macro to be more legible and better represent memory
layout
- Fixed documentation to better reflect the implmentation
- Renamed DEFAULT_VA_BITS to MMAP_VA_BITS
- Added additional test case for rlimit changes
