ld.hugetlbfs – link a program for huge pages
Synopsis
ld.hugetlbfs [options]Description
ld.hugetlbfs replaces the normal ld command for linking programs to use hugepages. Under gcc, you should use the option -B /usr/share/libhugetlbfs which tells gcc to look in a non-standard location for the linker. This could be set in the CFLAGS environment variable.- -Wl,–hugetlbfs-align
- This method of linking an application permits greater flexibility at runtime. Using HUGETLB_ELFMAP, it is possible to control which program segments are placed in hugepages. The following four settings will cause the indicated segments to be placed in hugepages:
HUGETLB_ELFMAP=R Read-only segments (text)
HUGETLB_ELFMAP=W Writable segments (data/BSS)
HUGETLB_ELFMAP=RW All segments (text/data/BSS)
HUGETLB_ELFMAP=no No segments It is possible to select specific huge page sizes for read-only and writable segments by using the following advanced syntax:
HUGETLB_ELFMAP=[R[=<pagesize>]:[W[=<pagesize>]] -Wl,–hugetlbfs-link=B
Under binutils 2.16 or older, this option will link the application to store BSS data (only) into hugepages.
-Wl,–hugetlbfs-link=BDT
Under binutils 2.16 or older, this option will link the application to store text, initialized data and BSS data into hugepages.
