Suppress split ptlock on arches which may use one page for multiple page tables. Reconsider what better to do (particularly on ppc64) later on. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This option allows you to change some of the ways that
|
|
Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will
|
|
only have one option here: FLATMEM. This is normal
|
|
and a correct option.
|
|
|
|
Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
|
|
memory hotplug may have different options here.
|
|
DISCONTIGMEM is an more mature, better tested system,
|
|
but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
|
|
decreased performance over SPARSEMEM. If unsure between
|
|
"Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose
|
|
"Discontiguous Memory".
|
|
|
|
If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other.

This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous
|
|
memory systems, over FLATMEM. These systems have holes
|
|
in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
|
|
more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast
|
|
majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
|
|
can have degraded performance from extra overhead that
|
|
this option imposes.
|
|
|
|
Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, choose "Flat Memory" over this option.

This will be the only option for some systems, including
|
|
memory hotplug systems. This is normal.
|
|
|
|
For many other systems, this will be an alternative to
|
|
"Discontiguous Memory". This option provides some potential
|
|
performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity,
|
|
but it is newer, and more experimental.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, choose "Discontiguous Memory" or "Flat Memory"
|
|
over this option.
