sparc actually supports gigantic pages and selecting ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE allows it to allocate and free gigantic pages at runtime. sparc allows configuration such as huge pages of 16GB, pages of 8KB and MAX_ORDER = 13 (default): HPAGE_SHIFT (34) - PAGE_SHIFT (13) = 21 >= MAX_ORDER (13) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190327063626.18421-3-alex@ghiti.fr Signed-off-by: Alexandre Ghiti <alex@ghiti.fr> Acked-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
