aarch64-paging

The aarch64-paging crate lets you create page tables according to the AArch64 Virtual Memory System Architecture.

use aarch64_paging::{
    idmap::IdMap,
    paging::{Attributes, MemoryRegion},
};

const ASID: usize = 1;
const ROOT_LEVEL: usize = 1;

// Create a new page table with identity mapping.
let mut idmap = IdMap::new(ASID, ROOT_LEVEL);
// Map a 2 MiB region of memory as read-only.
idmap.map_range(
    &MemoryRegion::new(0x80200000, 0x80400000),
    Attributes::NORMAL | Attributes::NON_GLOBAL | Attributes::READ_ONLY,
).unwrap();
// Set `TTBR0_EL1` to activate the page table.
idmap.activate();
  • For now it only supports EL1, but support for other exception levels should be straightforward to add.
  • This is used in Android for the Protected VM Firmware.
  • There’s no easy way to run this example, as it needs to run on real hardware or under QEMU.
