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. |
