apio	3ec54fafde	x86_64/MMU: Do not allocate level 1 page tables for huge page entries ... This would leak memory, since we would never end up using them.	2023-02-27 12:55:15 +01:00

apio	995d1bc36e	x86_64/MMU: Map all physical memory into the higher half instead of using recursive mapping ... This still has a few problems. Notably, we are not using huge pages for this mapping, which would be a lot more efficient. Right now, used memory is 8.1 MiB at boot for a 256MiB system. But after improving it, this system will be much better than recursive mapping. fork() will be MUCH easier to implement, for example.	2023-02-27 12:24:21 +01:00
