Now, that we have linear map page tables configured, keep MMU enabled to allow faster relocation of segments to final destination. Cavium ThunderX2: Kernel Image size: 38M Iniramfs size: 46M Total relocation size: 84M MMU-disabled: relocation 7.489539915s MMU-enabled: relocation 0.03946095s Broadcom Stingray: The performance data: for a moderate size kernel + initramfs: 25M the relocation was taking 0.382s, with enabled MMU it now takes 0.019s only or x20 improvement. The time is proportional to the size of relocation, therefore if initramfs is larger, 100M it could take over a second.

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.
