<br>
</div>sorry, to be accurate, reserve physical memory is done by kernel cmdline, this cmdline parameter can be passed from L4 to kernel, or configed by kernel itself.<br>
the cmdline will be like below:<br>
mem=510M@0 test_region=2M@510M<br>
<br>
above example tells kernel you have totally 512MB physical memory, but kernel will only use the first 510MB, the latter 2MB memory is used by you. how to map and use this region depends on you.<br>
<div><br>
> in kernel, map this region to an continuous virtual region, note that the pgprot should be uncachable since you want to test without cache.<br>
<br>
</div>1. use early_param to get the physical start address and size of test_region, or you can just ignore this step and hard code to 510M and 2M for test purpose only.<br>
<br>
2. use ioremap_nocache() to map this region to a virtual region. note that this funtion may fail if you are asking a very large vitual memroy region.<br>
