AARCH64内核highlights

39bits地址线,4K页时3级页表,64K页时2级页表。

In terms of MMU, it currently supports 39-bit address space for user and kernel (each) with 3-level page table and 4KB pages or 2-level page table and 64KB pages (see Documentation/aarch64/memory.txt). The virtual address space can be extended to 48-bit. 

32bits兼容模式,但只允许在4k页的模式下。

二者无法同时工作,因为转换需要exception来完成。

Compat (32-bit) user applications (ARM EABI only) are supported with the 4KB page configuration. There is no interworking between AArch32 and AArch64 code (the architecture requires an exception entry/exit to change the mode).
