[ARM] pgtable: swp pte layout documentation, definitions, and check
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Document the layout of our swp PTE entries, adding definitions for
the bit masks/shifts/sizes, and implement MAX_SWAPFILES_CHECK()
such that we fail to build if we are unable to properly encode the
swp type field.

/* Encode and decode a swap entry.

* Encode and decode a swap entry. Swap entries are stored in the Linux
* page tables as follows:
*
* 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
* 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
* <--------------- offset --------------------> <--- type --> 0 0
*
* We support up to 32GB of swap on 4k machines
* This gives us up to 127 swap files and 32GB per swap file. Note that
* the offset field is always non-zero.
