Same issue on Asahi linux which uses 16K pages

zachberger on Mar 20, 2022

It’s said that:

Distributions, like CentOS, RedHat, or Oracle Linux, set the default page size to 64k ^1 ^redhat

However, Chromium seems to show no interest in 64 Ki page size in the foreseeable future:

The rare 64kb case is still not supported due to further changes needed to SlotSpanMetadata. ^chromium-3545665

SlotSpanMetadata is required to be 32 bits, however, with 64 KiB pages it requires ~34 bits. ^chromium-3545740

I think it is linux kernel’s PAGESIZE problem. PAGESIZE = 64k on cetos 7 aarch64 (redhat 7) but, PAGESIZE = 4K on other linux(such debian aarch64) PAGESIZE = 4K on centos 7 x86_64

$ getconf PAGESIZE
65535

i think two way can resolve it :

recompile centos 7 aarch64 linux kernel, change PAGESIZE 64K to PAGESIZE 4K
recomplire electron on centos 7 aarch64 with PAGESIZE 64K
