+Virtual Memory Layout on RISC-V Linux
+=====================================

+:Author: Alexandre Ghiti <alex@ghiti.fr>
+:Date: 12 February 2021
+
+This document describes the virtual memory layout used by the RISC-V Linux
+Kernel.

+RISC-V Linux Kernel 64bit
+=========================
+
+The RISC-V privileged architecture document states that the 64bit addresses
+"must have bits 63–48 all equal to bit 47, or else a page-fault exception will
+occur.": that splits the virtual address space into 2 halves separated by a very
+big hole, the lower half is where the userspace resides, the upper half is where
+the RISC-V Linux Kernel resides.

+Userspace VAs
+--------------------
+To maintain compatibility with software that relies on the VA space with a
+maximum of 48 bits the kernel will, by default, return virtual addresses to
+userspace from a 48-bit range (sv48). This default behavior is achieved by
+passing 0 into the hint address parameter of mmap. On CPUs with an address space
+smaller than sv48, the CPU maximum supported address space will be the default.
+
+Software can "opt-in" to receiving VAs from another VA space by providing
+a hint address to mmap. A hint address passed to mmap will cause the largest
+address space that fits entirely into the hint to be used, unless there is no
+space left in the address space. If there is no space available in the requested
+address space, an address in the next smallest available address space will be
+returned.
+
+For example, in order to obtain 48-bit VA space, a hint address greater than
+:code:`1 << 47` must be provided. Note that this is 47 due to sv48 userspace
+ending at :code:`1 << 47` and the addresses beyond this are reserved for the
+kernel. Similarly, to obtain 57-bit VA space addresses, a hint address greater
+than or equal to :code:`1 << 56` must be provided.
