Subject: [PATCH v2 04/23] x86/boot: Increase boot page table size
Date:   Tue, 25 Oct 2022 17:12:42 +0300

Previous upper limit ignored pages implicitly mapped from #PF handler
by code accessing ACPI tables (boot/compressed/{acpi.c,efi.c}),
so theoretical upper limit is higher than it was set.

Using 4KB pages is desirable for better memory protection granularity.
Approximately twice as much memory is required for those.

Increase initial page table size to 64 4KB page tables.

  * Assuming all cross the 512GB boundary:
  * 1 page for level4
- * (2+2)*4 pages for kernel, param, cmd_line, and randomized kernel
- * 2 pages for first 2M (video RAM: CONFIG_X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP).
- * Total is 19 pages.
+ * (3+3)*2 pages for param and cmd_line
+ * (2+2+S)*2 pages for kernel and randomized kernel, where S is total number
+ *     of sections of kernel. Explanation: 2+2 are upper level page tables.
+ *     We can have only S unaligned parts of section: 1 at the end of the kernel
+ *     and (S-1) at the section borders. The start address of the kernel is
+ *     aligned, so an extra page table. There are at most S=6 sections in
+ *     vmlinux ELF image.
+ * 3 pages for first 2M (video RAM: CONFIG_X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP).
+ * Total is 36 pages.
+ *
+ * Some pages are also required for UEFI memory map and
+ * ACPI table mappings, so we need to add extra space.
+ * FIXME: Figure out exact amount of pages.
