mm/memblock: add memblock memory allocation apis Introduce memblock memory allocation APIs which allow to support PAE or LPAE extension on 32 bits archs where the physical memory start address can be beyond 4GB. In such cases, existing bootmem APIs which operate on 32 bit addresses won't work and needs memblock layer which operates on 64 bit addresses. So we add equivalent APIs so that we can replace usage of bootmem with memblock interfaces. Architectures already converted to NO_BOOTMEM use these new memblock interfaces. The architectures which are still not converted to NO_BOOTMEM continue to function as is because we still maintain the fal lback option of bootmem back-end supporting these new interfaces. So no functional change as such. In long run, once all the architectures moves to NO_BOOTMEM, we can get rid of bootmem layer completely. This is one step to remove the core code dependency with bootmem and also gives path for architectures to move away from bootmem. The proposed interface will became active if both CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK and CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM are specified by arch. In case !CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM, the memblock() wrappers will fallback to the existing bootmem apis so that arch's not converted to NO_BOOTMEM continue to work as is. The meaning of MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE and MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE is kept same.

mm/memblock.c: introduce bottom-up allocation mode The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result, kernel pages cannot be hot-removed. So we cannot allocate hotpluggable memory for the kernel. ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug info. But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate memory for the kernel. So we need to prevent memblock from doing this. In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be unhotpluggable. And for a modern server, each node could have at least 16GB memory. So memory around the kernel image is highly likely unhotpluggable. So the basic idea is: Allocate memory from the end of the kernel image and to the higher memory. Since memory allocation before SRAT is parsed won't be too much, it could highly likely be in the same node with kernel image. The current memblock can only allocate memory top-down. So this patch introduces a new bottom-up allocation mode to allocate memory bottom-up. And later when we use this allocation direction to allocate memory, we will limit the start address above the kernel.

mem-hotplug: handle node hole when initializing numa_meminfo. When parsing SRAT, all memory ranges are added into numa_meminfo. In numa_init(), before entering numa_cleanup_meminfo(), all possible memory ranges are in numa_meminfo. And numa_cleanup_meminfo() removes all ranges over max_pfn or empty. But, this only works if the nodes are continuous. Let's have a look at the following example: We have an SRAT like this: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x00000000-0x5fffffff] SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0x1ffffffffff] SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x20000000000-0x3ffffffffff] SRAT: Node 4 PXM 2 [mem 0x40000000000-0x5ffffffffff] hotplug SRAT: Node 5 PXM 3 [mem 0x60000000000-0x7ffffffffff] hotplug SRAT: Node 2 PXM 4 [mem 0x80000000000-0x9ffffffffff] hotplug SRAT: Node 3 PXM 5 [mem 0xa0000000000-0xbffffffffff] hotplug SRAT: Node 6 PXM 6 [mem 0xc0000000000-0xdffffffffff] hotplug SRAT: Node 7 PXM 7 [mem 0xe0000000000-0xfffffffffff] hotplug On boot, only node 0,1,2,3 exist. And the numa_meminfo will look like this: numa_meminfo.nr_blks = 9 1. on node 0: [0, 60000000] 2. on node 0: [100000000, 20000000000] 3. on node 1: [20000000000, 40000000000] 4. on node 4: [40000000000, 60000000000] 5. on node 5: [60000000000, 80000000000] 6. on node 2: [80000000000, a0000000000] 7. on node 3: [a0000000000, a0800000000] 8. on node 6: [c0000000000, a0800000000] 9. on node 7: [e0000000000, a0800000000] And numa_cleanup_meminfo() will merge 1 and 2, and remove 8,9 because the end address is over max_pfn, which is a0800000000. But 4 and 5 are not removed because their end addresses are less then max_pfn. But in fact, node 4 and 5 don't exist. In a word, numa_cleanup_meminfo() is not able to handle holes between nodes. Since memory ranges in node 4 and 5 are in numa_meminfo, in numa_register_memblks(), node 4 and 5 will be mistakenly set to online. If you run lscpu, it will show: NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-14,128-142 NUMA node1 CPU(s): 15-29,143-157 NUMA node2 CPU(s): NUMA node3 CPU(s): NUMA node4 CPU(s): 62-76,190-204 NUMA node5 CPU(s): 78-92,206-220 In this patch, we use memblock_overlaps_region() to check if ranges in numa_meminfo overlap with ranges in memory_block. Since memory_block contains all available memory at boot time, if they overlap, it means the ranges exist. If not, then remove them from numa_meminfo. After this patch, lscpu will show: NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-14,128-142 NUMA node1 CPU(s): 15-29,143-157 NUMA node4 CPU(s): 62-76,190-204 NUMA node5 CPU(s): 78-92,206-220 Signed-off-by: Tang Chen <tangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Cc: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Vladimir Murzin <vladimir.murzin@arm.com> Cc: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be> Cc: Alexander Kuleshov <kuleshovmail@gmail.com> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm/memblock.c: factor out of top-down allocation [Problem] The current Linux cannot migrate pages used by the kernel because of the kernel direct mapping. In Linux kernel space, va = pa + PAGE_OFFSET. When the pa is changed, we cannot simply update the pagetable and keep the va unmodified. So the kernel pages are not migratable. There are also some other issues will cause the kernel pages not migratable. For example, the physical address may be cached somewhere and will be used. It is not to update all the caches. When doing memory hotplug in Linux, we first migrate all the pages in one memory device somewhere else, and then remove the device. But if pages are used by the kernel, they are not migratable. As a result, memory used by the kernel cannot be hot-removed. Modifying the kernel direct mapping mechanism is too difficult to do. And it may cause the kernel performance down and unstable. So we use the following way to do memory hotplug. [What we are doing] In Linux, memory in one numa node is divided into several zones. One of the zones is ZONE_MOVABLE, which the kernel won't use. In order to implement memory hotplug in Linux, we are going to arrange all hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use these memory. To do this, we need ACPI's help. In ACPI, SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) contains NUMA info. The memory affinities in SRAT record every memory range in the system, and also, flags specifying if the memory range is hotpluggable. (Please refer to ACPI spec 5.0 5.2.16) With the help of SRAT, we have to do the following two things to achieve our goal: 1. When doing memory hot-add, allow the users arranging hotpluggable as ZONE_MOVABLE. (This has been done by the MOVABLE_NODE functionality in Linux.) 2. when the system is booting, prevent bootmem allocator from allocating hotpluggable memory for the kernel before the memory initialization finishes. The problem 2 is the key problem we are going to solve. But before solving it, we need some preparation. Please see below. [Preparation] Bootloader has to load the kernel image into memory. And this memory must be unhotpluggable. We cannot prevent this anyway. So in a memory hotplug system, we can assume any node the kernel resides in is not hotpluggable. Before SRAT is parsed, we don't know which memory ranges are hotpluggable. But memblock has already started to work. In the current kernel, memblock allocates the following memory before SRAT is parsed: setup_arch() |->memblock_x86_fill() /* memblock is ready */ |...... |->early_reserve_e820_mpc_new() /* allocate memory under 1MB */ |->reserve_real_mode() /* allocate memory under 1MB */ |->init_mem_mapping() /* allocate page tables, about 2MB to map 1GB memory */ |->dma_contiguous_reserve() /* specified by user, should be low */ |->setup_log_buf() /* specified by user, several mega bytes */ |->relocate_initrd() /* could be large, but will be freed after boot, should reorder */ |->acpi_initrd_override() /* several mega bytes */ |->reserve_crashkernel() /* could be large, should reorder */ |...... |->initmem_init() /* Parse SRAT */ According to Tejun's advice, before SRAT is parsed, we should try our best to allocate memory near the kernel image. Since the whole node the kernel resides in won't be hotpluggable, and for a modern server, a node may have at least 16GB memory, allocating several mega bytes memory around the kernel image won't cross to hotpluggable memory. [About this patchset] So this patchset is the preparation for the problem 2 that we want to solve. It does the following: 1. Make memblock be able to allocate memory bottom up. 1) Keep all the memblock APIs' prototype unmodified. 2) When the direction is bottom up, keep the start address greater than the end of kernel image. 2. Improve init_mem_mapping() to support allocate page tables in bottom up direction. 3. Introduce "movable_node" boot option to enable and disable this functionality. This patch (of 6): Create a new function __memblock_find_range_top_down to factor out of top-down allocation from memblock_find_in_range_node.

mm/memblock: add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on attribute Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by reading from disk). But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever be able to recover. Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing. Gen1: All memory is mirrored Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the mirror Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers Pro: Keep more of the capacity Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory controller Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance Con: I have to write memory management code to implement The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations. This has been broken into two phases: 1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time allocations 2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because page_alloc.c is scary).

mm/memblock.c: introduce bottom-up allocation mode The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result, kernel pages cannot be hot-removed. So we cannot allocate hotpluggable memory for the kernel. ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug info. But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate memory for the kernel. So we need to prevent memblock from doing this. In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be unhotpluggable. And for a modern server, each node could have at least 16GB memory. So memory around the kernel image is highly likely unhotpluggable. So the basic idea is: Allocate memory from the end of the kernel image and to the higher memory. Since memory allocation before SRAT is parsed won't be too much, it could highly likely be in the same node with kernel image. The current memblock can only allocate memory top-down. So this patch introduces a new bottom-up allocation mode to allocate memory bottom-up. And later when we use this allocation direction to allocate memory, we will limit the start address above the kernel.

mm/memblock.c: factor out of top-down allocation [Problem] The current Linux cannot migrate pages used by the kernel because of the kernel direct mapping. In Linux kernel space, va = pa + PAGE_OFFSET. When the pa is changed, we cannot simply update the pagetable and keep the va unmodified. So the kernel pages are not migratable. There are also some other issues will cause the kernel pages not migratable. For example, the physical address may be cached somewhere and will be used. It is not to update all the caches. When doing memory hotplug in Linux, we first migrate all the pages in one memory device somewhere else, and then remove the device. But if pages are used by the kernel, they are not migratable. As a result, memory used by the kernel cannot be hot-removed. Modifying the kernel direct mapping mechanism is too difficult to do. And it may cause the kernel performance down and unstable. So we use the following way to do memory hotplug. [What we are doing] In Linux, memory in one numa node is divided into several zones. One of the zones is ZONE_MOVABLE, which the kernel won't use. In order to implement memory hotplug in Linux, we are going to arrange all hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use these memory. To do this, we need ACPI's help. In ACPI, SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) contains NUMA info. The memory affinities in SRAT record every memory range in the system, and also, flags specifying if the memory range is hotpluggable. (Please refer to ACPI spec 5.0 5.2.16) With the help of SRAT, we have to do the following two things to achieve our goal: 1. When doing memory hot-add, allow the users arranging hotpluggable as ZONE_MOVABLE. (This has been done by the MOVABLE_NODE functionality in Linux.) 2. when the system is booting, prevent bootmem allocator from allocating hotpluggable memory for the kernel before the memory initialization finishes. The problem 2 is the key problem we are going to solve. But before solving it, we need some preparation. Please see below. [Preparation] Bootloader has to load the kernel image into memory. And this memory must be unhotpluggable. We cannot prevent this anyway. So in a memory hotplug system, we can assume any node the kernel resides in is not hotpluggable. Before SRAT is parsed, we don't know which memory ranges are hotpluggable. But memblock has already started to work. In the current kernel, memblock allocates the following memory before SRAT is parsed: setup_arch() |->memblock_x86_fill() /* memblock is ready */ |...... |->early_reserve_e820_mpc_new() /* allocate memory under 1MB */ |->reserve_real_mode() /* allocate memory under 1MB */ |->init_mem_mapping() /* allocate page tables, about 2MB to map 1GB memory */ |->dma_contiguous_reserve() /* specified by user, should be low */ |->setup_log_buf() /* specified by user, several mega bytes */ |->relocate_initrd() /* could be large, but will be freed after boot, should reorder */ |->acpi_initrd_override() /* several mega bytes */ |->reserve_crashkernel() /* could be large, should reorder */ |...... |->initmem_init() /* Parse SRAT */ According to Tejun's advice, before SRAT is parsed, we should try our best to allocate memory near the kernel image. Since the whole node the kernel resides in won't be hotpluggable, and for a modern server, a node may have at least 16GB memory, allocating several mega bytes memory around the kernel image won't cross to hotpluggable memory. [About this patchset] So this patchset is the preparation for the problem 2 that we want to solve. It does the following: 1. Make memblock be able to allocate memory bottom up. 1) Keep all the memblock APIs' prototype unmodified. 2) When the direction is bottom up, keep the start address greater than the end of kernel image. 2. Improve init_mem_mapping() to support allocate page tables in bottom up direction. 3. Introduce "movable_node" boot option to enable and disable this functionality. This patch (of 6): Create a new function __memblock_find_range_top_down to factor out of top-down allocation from memblock_find_in_range_node. This is a preparation because we will introduce a new bottom-up allocation mode in the following patch.

mm/memblock: add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on attribute Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by reading from disk). But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever be able to recover. Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing. Gen1: All memory is mirrored Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the mirror Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers Pro: Keep more of the capacity Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory controller Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance Con: I have to write memory management code to implement The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations. This has been broken into two phases: 1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time allocations 2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because page_alloc.c is scary). This patch (of 3): Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on attribute.

mm/memblock.c: introduce bottom-up allocation mode The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result, kernel pages cannot be hot-removed. So we cannot allocate hotpluggable memory for the kernel. ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug info. But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate memory for the kernel. So we need to prevent memblock from doing this. In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be unhotpluggable. And for a modern server, each node could have at least 16GB memory. So memory around the kernel image is highly likely unhotpluggable. So the basic idea is: Allocate memory from the end of the kernel image and to the higher memory. Since memory allocation before SRAT is parsed won't be too much, it could highly likely be in the same node with kernel image. The current memblock can only allocate memory top-down. So this patch introduces a new bottom-up allocation mode to allocate memory bottom-up. And later when we use this allocation direction to allocate memory, we will limit the start address above the kernel.

memblock, numa: introduce flags field into memblock There is no flag in memblock to describe what type the memory is. Sometimes, we may use memblock to reserve some memory for special usage. And we want to know what kind of memory it is. So we need a way to In hotplug environment, we want to reserve hotpluggable memory so the kernel won't be able to use it. And when the system is up, we have to free these hotpluggable memory to buddy. So we need to mark these memory first. In order to do so, we need to mark out these special memory in memblock. In this patch, we introduce a new "flags" member into memblock_region: struct memblock_region { phys_addr_t base; phys_addr_t size; unsigned long flags; /* This is new. */ #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP int nid; #endif }; This patch does the following things: 1) Add "flags" member to memblock_region. 2) Modify the following APIs' prototype: memblock_add_region() memblock_insert_region() 3) Add memblock_reserve_region() to support reserve memory with flags, and keep memblock_reserve()'s prototype unmodified. 4) Modify other APIs to support flags, but keep their prototype unmodified. The idea is from Wen Congyang <wency@cn.fujitsu.com> and Liu Jiang <jiang.liu@huawei.com>.

memblock, numa: introduce flags field into memblock There is no flag in memblock to describe what type the memory is. Sometimes, we may use memblock to reserve some memory for special usage. And we want to know what kind of memory it is. So we need a way to In hotplug environment, we want to reserve hotpluggable memory so the kernel won't be able to use it. And when the system is up, we have to free these hotpluggable memory to buddy. So we need to mark these memory first. In order to do so, we need to mark out these special memory in memblock. In this patch, we introduce a new "flags" member into memblock_region: struct memblock_region { phys_addr_t base; phys_addr_t size; unsigned long flags; /* This is new. */ #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP int nid; #endif }; This patch does the following things: 1) Add "flags" member to memblock_region. 2) Modify the following APIs' prototype: memblock_add_region() memblock_insert_region() 3) Add memblock_reserve_region() to support reserve memory with flags, and keep memblock_reserve()'s prototype unmodified. 4) Modify other APIs to support flags, but keep their prototype unmodified.

memblock, numa: introduce flags field into memblock There is no flag in memblock to describe what type the memory is. Sometimes, we may use memblock to reserve some memory for special usage. And we want to know what kind of memory it is. So we need a way to In hotplug environment, we want to reserve hotpluggable memory so the kernel won't be able to use it. And when the system is up, we have to free these hotpluggable memory to buddy. So we need to mark these memory first. In order to do so, we need to mark out these special memory in memblock. In this patch, we introduce a new "flags" member into memblock_region: struct memblock_region { phys_addr_t base; phys_addr_t size; unsigned long flags; /* This is new. */ #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP int nid; #endif }; This patch does the following things: 1) Add "flags" member to memblock_region. 2) Modify the following APIs' prototype: memblock_add_region() memblock_insert_region() 3) Add memblock_reserve_region() to support reserve memory with flags, and keep memblock_reserve()'s prototype unmodified. 4) Modify other APIs to support flags, but keep their prototype unmodified.

memblock, mem_hotplug: introduce MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG flag to mark hotpluggable regions In find_hotpluggable_memory, once we find out a memory region which is hotpluggable, we want to mark them in memblock.memory. So that we could control memblock allocator not to allocte hotpluggable memory for the kernel later. To achieve this goal, we introduce MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG flag to indicate the hotpluggable memory regions in memblock and a function memblock_mark_hotplug() to mark hotpluggable memory if we find one.

memblock, mem_hotplug: make memblock skip hotpluggable regions if needed Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result, hotpluggable memory used by the kernel won't be able to be hot-removed. To solve this problem, the basic idea is to prevent memblock from allocating hotpluggable memory for the kernel at early time, and arrange all hotpluggable memory in ACPI SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) as ZONE_MOVABLE when initializing zones. In the previous patches, we have marked hotpluggable memory regions with MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG flag in memblock.memory. In this patch, we make memblock skip these hotpluggable memory regions in the default top-down allocation function if movable_node boot option is specified.

mm/memblock: add memblock memory allocation apis Introduce memblock memory allocation APIs which allow to support PAE or LPAE extension on 32 bits archs where the physical memory start address can be beyond 4GB. In such cases, existing bootmem APIs which operate on 32 bit addresses won't work and needs memblock layer which operates on 64 bit addresses. So we add equivalent APIs so that we can replace usage of bootmem with memblock interfaces. Architectures already converted to NO_BOOTMEM use these new memblock interfaces. The architectures which are still not converted to NO_BOOTMEM continue to function as is because we still maintain the fal lback option of bootmem back-end supporting these new interfaces. So no functional change as such. In long run, once all the architectures moves to NO_BOOTMEM, we can get rid of bootmem layer completely. This is one step to remove the core code dependency with bootmem and also gives path for architectures to move away from bootmem. The proposed interface will became active if both CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK and CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM are specified by arch. In case !CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM, the memblock() wrappers will fallback to the existing bootmem apis so that arch's not converted to NO_BOOTMEM continue to work as is. The meaning of MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE and MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE is kept same.

mm/memblock: add memblock memory allocation apis Introduce memblock memory allocation APIs which allow to support PAE or LPAE extension on 32 bits archs where the physical memory start address can be beyond 4GB. In such cases, existing bootmem APIs which operate on 32 bit addresses won't work and needs memblock layer which operates on 64 bit addresses. So we add equivalent APIs so that we can replace usage of bootmem with memblock interfaces. Architectures already converted to NO_BOOTMEM use these new memblock interfaces. The architectures which are still not converted to NO_BOOTMEM continue to function as is because we still maintain the fal lback option of bootmem back-end supporting these new interfaces. So no functional change as such. In long run, once all the architectures moves to NO_BOOTMEM, we can get rid of bootmem layer completely. This is one step to remove the core code dependency with bootmem and also gives path for architectures to move away from bootmem. The proposed interface will became active if both CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK and CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM are specified by arch. In case !CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM, the memblock() wrappers will fallback to the existing bootmem apis so that arch's not converted to NO_BOOTMEM continue to work as is. The meaning of MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE and MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE is kept same.

mm/memblock.c: add new infrastructure to address the mem limit issue In some cases, memblock is queried by kernel to determine whether a specified address is RAM or not. For example, the ACPI core needs this information to determine which attributes to use when mapping ACPI regions(acpi_os_ioremap). Use of incorrect memory types can result in faults, data corruption, or other issues. Removing memory with memblock_enforce_memory_limit() throws away this information, and so a kernel booted with 'mem=' may suffer from the issues described above. To avoid this, we need to keep those NOMAP regions instead of removing all above the limit, which preserves the information we need while preventing other use of those regions. This patch adds new infrastructure to retain all NOMAP memblock regions while removing others, to cater for this.

In this particular case we've had Reserving 4096MB of memory at 128MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 51200MB) so the low 2GB is mostly depleted. Fix this by considering memblock allocations in the initial static initialization estimation. Move the max_initialise to reset_deferred_meminit and implement a simple memblock_reserved_memory helper which iterates all reserved blocks and sums the size of all that start below the given address. The cumulative size is than added on top of the initial estimation. This is still not ideal because reset_deferred_meminit doesn't consider holes and so reservation might be above the initial estimation whihch we ignore but let's make the logic simpler until we really need to handle more complicated cases.

memblock: s/memblock_analyze()/memblock_allow_resize()/ and update users The only function of memblock_analyze() is now allowing resize of memblock region arrays. Rename it to memblock_allow_resize() and update its users. * The following users remain the same other than renaming. arm/mm/init.c::arm_memblock_init() microblaze/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree() powerpc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree() openrisc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree() sh/mm/init.c::paging_init() sparc/mm/init_64.c::paging_init() unicore32/mm/init.c::uc32_memblock_init() * In the following users, analyze was used to update total size which is no longer necessary. powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.c::reserve_crashkernel() powerpc/kernel/prom.c::early_init_devtree() powerpc/mm/init_32.c::MMU_init() powerpc/mm/tlb_nohash.c::__early_init_mmu() powerpc/platforms/ps3/mm.c::ps3_mm_add_memory() powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/wii.c::wii_memory_fixups() sh/kernel/machine_kexec.c::reserve_crashkernel() * x86/kernel/e820.c::memblock_x86_fill() was directly setting memblock_can_resize before populating memblock and calling analyze afterwards. Call memblock_allow_resize() before start populating. memblock_can_resize is now static inside memblock.c.
