Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/2] xen/arm64: correct comments



Hello Peng,

I would specific the file modified in the title.

On 20/04/16 14:54, Peng Fan wrote:
The 'Base address for 4K mapping' is '(x19 >> THIRD_SHIFT) << THIRD_SHIFT'.

The computation is a sequence of 2 instructions. I gave a look to the rest of the file and the comments are usually put on the first instruction.

So I would much prefer to stay consistent with the rest of the code.

Also we are building 4K page mapping, not section mapping.

To be fair, a page is a specialized section.

The section map is the combination of 2 instructions. With this change we don't know quickly what the purpose of "mov x3, #PT_MEM_L3".


          /* ... map of vaddr(start) in boot_third */
          mov   x1, xzr
