07bacb3826 memblock, bootmem: restore goal for alloc_low
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.

ad6492b80f memblock, nobootmem: add memblock_virt_alloc_low()
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.

26f09e9b3a 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.

7b4b2a0d6c mm: accurately calculate zone->managed_pages for highmem zones
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.

ae9aae9eda memory-hotplug: common APIs to support page tables hot-remove
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

99ab7b1944 mm: sparse: fix usemap allocation above node descriptor section
After commit f5bf18fa22 ("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 f5bf18fa22
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.

238305bb4d mm: remove sparsemem allocation details from the bootmem allocator
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.

31fe62b958 mm: add a low limit to alloc_large_system_hash
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.

64a02daacb memblock, x86: Make free_all_memory_core_early() explicitly free lowmem only
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.

93a72052be crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, 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.

53dde5f385 bootmem: Add alloc_bootmem_align()
Add an alloc_bootmem_align() interface to allocate bootmem with
specified alignment.  This is necessary to be able to allocate the
xsave area in a subsequent patch.

08677214e3 x86: Make 64 bit use early_res instead of bootmem before slab
Finally we can use early_res to replace bootmem for x86_64 now.

Still can use CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM to enable it or not.

-v2: fix 32bit compiling about MAX_DMA32_PFN
-v3: folded bug fix from LKML message below

9f993ac3f7 bootmem: Add free_bootmem_late()
Add a new function for freeing bootmem after the bootmem
allocator has been released and the unreserved pages given to
the page allocator.

This allows us to reserve bootmem and then release it if we
later discover it was not needed.

( This new API will be used by the swiotlb code to recover
  a significant amount of RAM (64MB). )

2c85f51d22 mm: also use alloc_large_system_hash() for the PID hash table
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
(nr_{kernel,all}_pages).

c2fdf3a9b2 mm: enable hashdist by default on 64bit NUMA
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.

2d0aae4169 bootmem: reorder interface functions and add a missing one
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.

c132937556 bootmem: clean up arch-specific bootmem wrapping
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.
