:The constants in sys/platform/pc64/include/pmap.h indicate that 128TB is
:available for user VM space and at most 512GB is available for the
:kernel, but I'm not sure what is the actual limit for the kernel VM space
It will be 64TB or so as space must be set aside for the direct physical
memory map and device spaces. But the 512G limit is more convenient for
the kernel limit because it means we don't have to cycle through all
the PML4 tables to add a new PDP for the kernel (since every user pmap
is allocating its own PML4 table). 512G is fine, FreeBSD is doing the
same thing.
I wrote a little user program to test the 128TB user space, it was able
to mmap the space fine. Once you get the reference counting fixed up
so the stuff can be properly freed I think we will be in real good shape.
