From 41555cc9e2e9778ddc7c0293a4a2e4995e332643 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Conor Dooley Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2022 17:00:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: enable sparsemem by default for defconfig on an arch level, RISC-V defaults to FLATMEM. On PolarFire SoC, the memory layout is almost always sparse, with a maximum of 1 GiB at 0x8000_0000 & a possible 16 GiB range at 0x10_0000_0000. The Icicle kit, for example, has 2 GiB of DDR - so there's a big hole in the memory map between the two gigs. Prior to v6.1-rc1, boot times from defconfig builds were pretty bad on Icicle but enabling sparsemem would fix those issues. As of v6.1-rc1, the Icicle kit no longer boots from defconfig builds with the in-kernel devicetree. A change to the memory map resulted in a futher "sparse-ification", producing a splat on boot: OF: fdt: Ignoring memory range 0x80000000 - 0x80200000 Machine model: Microchip PolarFire-SoC Icicle Kit earlycon: ns16550a0 at MMIO32 0x0000000020100000 (options '115200n8') printk: bootconsole [ns16550a0] enabled printk: debug: skip boot console de-registration. efi: UEFI not found.
