Please don't top post on kernel mailing lists. The old Spidermonkey (which is used by couchdb) has some string allocation optimization in jsstr.cpp that directly pregenerates js strings in .rodata at compile time. Just try to run couchdb on a 48bit va aarch64 system and it will fall apart. Fixing mozjs master doesn't really help here, since couchdb requires the ancient spidermonkey 1.8.5. An alternative to fixing that old js implementation would obviously also be to move couchdb to mozjs master. Alex
