x86: add hugepagesz option on 64-bit
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add an hugepagesz=...  option similar to IA64, PPC etc.  to x86-64.

This finally allows to select GB pages for hugetlbfs in x86 now that all
the infrastructure is in place.

hugepages= [HW,X86-32,IA-64] Maximal number of HugeTLB pages.
hugepagesz= [HW,IA-64,PPC] The size of the HugeTLB pages.
hugepages= [HW,X86-32,IA-64] HugeTLB pages to allocate at boot.
hugepagesz= [HW,IA-64,PPC,X86-64] The size of the HugeTLB pages.
On x86 this option can be specified multiple times
interleaved with hugepages= to reserve huge pages
of different sizes. Valid pages sizes on x86-64
are 2M (when the CPU supports "pse") and 1G (when the
CPU supports the "pdpe1gb" cpuinfo flag)
Note that 1GB pages can only be allocated at boot time
using hugepages= and not freed afterwards.
