Hi Charlie,

Make sv48 the default address space for mmap as some applications currently depend on this assumption. The RISC-V specification enforces that bits outside of the virtual address range are not used, so restricting the size of the default address space as such should be temporary.
What do you mean in the last sentence above?
Applications like Java and Go broke when sv57 was implemented because they shove bits into the upper space of pointers. However riscv enforces that all of the upper bits in the virtual address are equal to the most significant bit. "Temporary" may not have been the best word, but this change would be irrelevant if application developers were following this rule, if I am understanding this requirement correctly. What this means to me is that riscv hardware is not guaranteed to not discard the bits in the virtual address that are not used in paging.
A hint address passed to mmap will cause the largest address space that fits entirely into the hint to be used. If the hint is less than or equal to 1<<38, an sv39 address will be used. An exception is that if the hint address is 0, then a sv48 address will be used.After an address space is completely full, the next smallest address space will be used.

Maybe rename DEFAULT_VA_BITS into MMAP_VA_BITS? Or something similar?

So IIUC, a user must pass a hint larger than the max address of the mode the user wants right? Shouldn't the user rather pass an address that is larger than the previous mode? I mean if the user wants a 56-bit address, he should just pass an address above 1<<47 no?
The rationale is that the hint address provided to mmap should signify all of the bits that the user is okay with being used for paging. Meaning that if they pass in 1<<50, they are okay with the first 51 bits being used in paging. The largest address space that fits within 51 bits is sv48, so that will be used. To use sv57, 1<<56 or larger will need to be used.
VA_USER_SV57 - (DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW - base) : \((((addr) >= VA_USER_SV48)) && (VA_BITS >= VA_BITS_SV48)) ? \VA_USER_SV48 - (DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW - base) : \(addr == 0) ? \base : \VA_USER_SV39 - (DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW - base))Can you turn that into a function or use if/else statement? It's very hard to understand what happens there.
Yes, I can use statement expressions.
And riscv selects ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT which means the base is at the top of the address space (minus the stack IIRC). But if rlimit_stack is set to infinity (see mmap_base() https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/mm/util.c#L412), mmap_base is equal to TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE. Does that work in that case? It seems like this: VA_USER_SV39 - (DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW - base)) would be negative right?
You should also add a rlimit test.
That is a good point. I think a better alternative will be to do base + (VA_USER_SV39 - DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW). This will also work with the other address spaces by swapping out the 39 with 48 and 57.
