Now we have memblock_virt_alloc_low to replace original bootmem api in
swiotlb.
But we should not use BOOTMEM_LOW_LIMIT for arch that does not support
CONFIG_NOBOOTMEM, as old api take 0.
| #define alloc_bootmem_low(x) \
| __alloc_bootmem_low(x, SMP_CACHE_BYTES, 0)
|#define alloc_bootmem_low_pages_nopanic(x) \
| __alloc_bootmem_low_nopanic(x, PAGE_SIZE, 0)
and we have
#define BOOTMEM_LOW_LIMIT __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
for CONFIG_NOBOOTMEM.
Restore goal to 0 to fix ia64 crash, that Tony found.

The new memblock_virt APIs are used to replaced old bootmem API.
We need to allocate page below 4G for swiotlb.
That should fix regression on Andrew's system that is using swiotlb.

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.

Commit "mm: introduce new field 'managed_pages' to struct zone" assumes
that all highmem pages will be freed into the buddy system by function
mem_init(). But that's not always true, some architectures may reserve
some highmem pages during boot. For example PPC may allocate highmem
pages for giagant HugeTLB pages, and several architectures have code to
check PageReserved flag to exclude highmem pages allocated during boot
when freeing highmem pages into the buddy system.
So treat highmem pages in the same way as normal pages, that is to:
1) reset zone->managed_pages to zero in mem_init().
2) recalculate managed_pages when freeing pages into the buddy system.

When memory is removed, the corresponding pagetables should alse be
removed. This patch introduces some common APIs to support vmemmap
pagetable and x86_64 architecture direct mapping pagetable removing.
All pages of virtual mapping in removed memory cannot be freed if some
pages used as PGD/PUD include not only removed memory but also other
memory. So this patch uses the following way to check whether a page
can be freed or not.
1) When removing memory, the page structs of the removed memory are
filled with 0FD.
2) All page structs are filled with 0xFD on PT/PMD, PT/PMD can be
cleared. In this case, the page used as PT/PMD can be freed.
For direct mapping pages, update direct_pages_count[level] when we freed
their pagetables. And do not free the pages again because they were
freed when offlining.
For vmemmap pages, free the pages and their pagetables.
For larger pages, do not split them into smaller ones because there is
no way to know if the larger page has been split. As a result, there is
no way to decide when to split. We deal the larger pages in the
following way:
1) For direct mapped pages, all the pages were freed when they were
offlined. And since menmory offline is done section by section, all
the memory ranges being removed are aligned to PAGE_SIZE. So only need
to deal with unaligned pages when freeing vmemmap pages.
2) For vmemmap pages being used to store page_struct, if part of the
larger page is still in use, just fill the unused part with 0xFD. And
when the whole page is fulfilled with 0xFD, then free the larger page.

It is strange that alloc_bootmem() returns a virtual address and
free_bootmem() requires a physical address. Anyway, free_bootmem()'s
first parameter should be physical address.
There are some call sites for free_bootmem() with virtual address. So fix
them.

After commit f5bf18fa22f8 ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint
in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed
outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if
there is space available in that section. This results in unnecessary
hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the
section holding the usemap.
The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear
search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a
much higher address absent an upper limit.
Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end,
then retry without if that fails. This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa22f8
of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but
still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.

alloc_bootmem_section() derives allocation area constraints from the
specified sparsemem section. This is a bit specific for a generic memory
allocator like bootmem, though, so move it over to sparsemem.
As __alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() already retries failed allocations with
relaxed area constraints, the fallback code in sparsemem.c can be removed
and the code becomes a bit more compact overall.

UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also
uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash
tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory.
On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the
alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area.
As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can
issue a warning.
This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to
solve this problem.
We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table
allocation.

nomemblock is currently used only by x86 and on x86_32
free_all_memory_core_early() silently freed only the low mem because
get_free_all_memory_range() in arch/x86/mm/memblock.c implicitly
limited range to max_low_pfn.
Rename free_all_memory_core_early() to free_low_memory_core_early()
and make it call __get_free_all_memory_range() and limit the range to
max_low_pfn explicitly. This makes things clearer and also is
consistent with the bootmem behavior.
This leaves get_free_all_memory_range() without any user. Kill it.

setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn
The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.
Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.
Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param(). This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param(). It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

This is being done by allowing boot time allocations to specify that they
may want a sub-page sized amount of memory.
Overall this seems more consistent with the other hash table allocations,
and allows making two supposedly mm-only variables really mm-only

On PowerPC we allocate large boot time hashes on node 0. This leads to an
imbalance in the free memory, for example on a 64GB box (4 x 16GB nodes):
Free memory:
Node 0: 97.03%
Node 1: 98.54%
Node 2: 98.42%
Node 3: 98.53%
If we switch to using vmalloc (like ia64 and x86-64) things are more
balanced:
Free memory:
Node 0: 97.53%
Node 1: 98.35%
Node 2: 98.33%
Node 3: 98.33%
For many HPC applications we are limited by the free available memory on
the smallest node, so even though the same amount of memory is used the
better balancing helps.
Since all 64bit NUMA capable architectures should have sufficient vmalloc
space, it makes sense to enable it via CONFIG_64BIT.

Impact: cleanup and addition of missing interface wrapper
The interface functions in bootmem.h was ordered in not so orderly
manner. Reorder them such that
* functions allocating the same area group together -
ie. alloc_bootmem group and alloc_bootmem_low group.
* functions w/o node parameter come before the ones w/ node parameter.
* nopanic variants are immediately below their panicky counterparts.
While at it, add alloc_bootmem_pages_node_nopanic() which was missing.

Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping
By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define
arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation. However, this is done
a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be
changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions
can't be wrapped. This not only is messy but also leads to strange
situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but
the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be
able to be used interchangeably.
This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the
backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel
interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping. Also,
HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM.

alloc_bootmem_core has become quite nasty to read over time. This is a
clean rewrite that keeps the semantics.
bdata->last_pos has been dropped.
bdata->last_success has been renamed to hint_idx and it is now an index
relative to the node's range. Since further block searching might start
at this index, it is now set to the end of a succeeded allocation rather
than its beginning.
bdata->last_offset has been renamed to last_end_off to be more clear that
it represents the ending address of the last allocation relative to the
node.

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

This reverts commit 2e1c49db4c640b35df13889b86b9d62215ade4b6.
First off, testing in Fedora has shown it to cause boot failures,
bisected down by Martin Ebourne, and reported by Dave Jobes. So the
commit will likely be reverted in the 2.6.23 stable kernels.
Secondly, in the 2.6.24 model, x86-64 has now grown support for
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, which disables the relevant code anyway, so while the
bug is not visible any more, it's become invisible due to the code just
being irrelevant and no longer enabled on the only architecture that
this ever affected.

Enable system hashtable memory to be distributed among nodes on x86_64 NUMA
Forcing the kernel to use node interleaved vmalloc instead of bootmem for
the system hashtable memory (alloc_large_system_hash) reduces the memory
imbalance on node 0 by around 40MB on a 8 node x86_64 NUMA box:
Before the following patch, on bootup of a 8 node box:
Node 0 MemTotal: 3407488 kB
Node 0 MemFree: 3206296 kB
Node 0 MemUsed: 201192 kB
Node 0 Active: 7012 kB
Node 0 Inactive: 512 kB
Node 0 Dirty: 0 kB
Node 0 Writeback: 0 kB
Node 0 FilePages: 1912 kB
Node 0 Mapped: 420 kB
Node 0 AnonPages: 5612 kB
Node 0 PageTables: 468 kB
Node 0 NFS_Unstable: 0 kB
Node 0 Bounce: 0 kB
Node 0 Slab: 5408 kB
Node 0 SReclaimable: 644 kB
Node 0 SUnreclaim: 4764 kB
After the patch (or using hashdist=1 on the kernel command line):
Node 0 MemTotal: 3407488 kB
Node 0 MemFree: 3247608 kB
Node 0 MemUsed: 159880 kB
Node 0 Active: 3012 kB
Node 0 Inactive: 616 kB
Node 0 Dirty: 0 kB
Node 0 Writeback: 0 kB
Node 0 FilePages: 2424 kB
Node 0 Mapped: 380 kB
Node 0 AnonPages: 1200 kB
Node 0 PageTables: 396 kB
Node 0 NFS_Unstable: 0 kB
Node 0 Bounce: 0 kB
Node 0 Slab: 6304 kB
Node 0 SReclaimable: 1596 kB
Node 0 SUnreclaim: 4708 kB
I guess it is a good idea to keep HASHDIST_DEFAULT "on" for x86_64 NUMA
since x86_64 has no dearth of vmalloc space? Or maybe enable hash
distribution for all 64bit NUMA arches? The following patch does it only
for x86_64.
I ran a HPC MPI benchmark -- 'Ansys wingsolid', which takes up quite a bit of
memory and uses up tlb entries. This was on a 4 way, 2 socket
Tyan AMD box (non vsmp), with 8G total memory (4G pernode).
The results with and without hash distribution are:
1. Vanilla - runtime of 1188.000s
2. With hashdist=1 runtime of 1154.000s
Oprofile output for the duration of run is:
1. Vanilla:

The grow algorithm is simple, we grow if:
1) we see a hash chain collision at insert, and
2) we haven't hit the hash size limit (currently 1*1024*1024 slots), and
3) the number of xfrm_state objects is > the current hash mask
All of this needs some tweaking.
Remove __initdata from "hashdist" so we can use it safely at run time.

data section (and thus calculated wrt the GP register). Not doing this
causes the linker to emit errors as the offset is too big to fit into the
