e500 supports many page sizes among which the following size are implemented in the kernel at the time being: 4M, 16M, 64M, 256M, 1G. On e500, TLB miss for hugepages is exclusively handled by SW even on e6500 which has HW assistance for 4k pages, so there are no constraints like on the 8xx. On e500/32, all are at PGD/PMD level and can be handled as cont-PMD. On e500/64, smaller ones are on PMD while bigger ones are on PUD. Again, they can easily be handled as cont-PMD and cont-PUD instead of hugepd. On e500/32, use the pagesize bits in PTE to know if it is a PMD or a leaf entry. This works because the pagesize bits are in the last 12 bits and page tables are 4k aligned. On e500/64, use highest bit which is always 1 on PxD (Because PxD contains virtual address of a kernel memory) and always 0 on PTEs because not all bits of RPN are used/possible.

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 reStructuredText 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.
