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 def= ault. + +Software can "opt-in" to receiving VAs from another VA space by providing +a hint address to mmap. A call to mmap is guaranteed to return an address +that will not override the unset left-aligned bits in the hint address, +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 th= an +:code:`1 << 38` must be provided. Note that this is 38 due to sv39 userspa= ce +ending at :code:`1 << 38` and the addresses beyond this are reserved for t= he +kernel. Similarly, to obtain 57-bit VA space addresses, a hint address gre= ater +than or equal to :code:`1 << 47` must be provided. --=20 2.41.0
