arch, mm: make releasing of memory to page allocator more explicit

2025-03-18T05:06:53Z

The point where the memory is released from memblock to the buddy allocator is hidden inside arch-specific mem_init()s and the call to memblock_free_all() is needlessly duplicated in every artiste cure and after introduction of arch_mm_preinit() hook, mem_init() implementation on many architecture only contains the call to memblock_free_all(). Pull memblock_free_all() call into mm_core_init() and drop mem_init() on relevant architectures to make it more explicit where the free memory is released from memblock to the buddy allocator and to reduce code duplication in architecture specific code.

arch, mm: introduce arch_mm_preinit

2025-03-18T05:06:53Z

Currently, implementation of mem_init() in every architecture consists of one or more of the following: * initializations that must run before page allocator is active, for instance swiotlb_init() * a call to memblock_free_all() to release all the memory to the buddy allocator * initializations that must run after page allocator is ready and there is no arch-specific hook other than mem_init() for that, like for example register_page_bootmem_info() in x86 and sparc64 or simple setting of mem_init_done = 1 in several architectures * a bunch of semi-related stuff that apparently had no better place to live, for example a ton of BUILD_BUG_ON()s in parisc. Introduce arch_mm_preinit() that will be the first thing called from mm_core_init(). On architectures that have initializations that must happen before the page allocator is ready, move those into arch_mm_preinit() along with the code that does not depend on ordering with page allocator setup. On several architectures this results in reduction of mem_init() to a single call to memblock_free_all() that allows its consolidation next.

arch, mm: streamline HIGHMEM freeing

2025-03-18T05:06:53Z

All architectures that support HIGHMEM have their code that frees high memory pages to the buddy allocator while __free_memory_core() is limited to freeing only low memory. There is no actual reason for that. The memory map is completely ready by the time memblock_free_all() is called and high pages can be released to the buddy allocator along with low memory. Remove low memory limit from __free_memory_core() and drop per-architecture code that frees high memory pages.

arch, mm: set max_mapnr when allocating memory map for FLATMEM

2025-03-18T05:06:52Z

max_mapnr is essentially the size of the memory map for systems that use FLATMEM. There is no reason to calculate it in each and every architecture when it's anyway calculated in alloc_node_mem_map(). Drop setting of max_mapnr from architecture code and set it once in alloc_node_mem_map(). While on it, move definition of mem_map and max_mapnr to mm/mm_init.c so there won't be two copies for MMU and !MMU variants.

arm: mem_init: use memblock_phys_free() to free DMA memory on SA1111

2025-03-18T05:06:50Z

Patch series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()", v2. Every architecture has implementation of mem_init() function and some even more than one. All these release free memory to the buddy allocator, most of them set high_memory to the end of directly addressable memory and many of them set max_mapnr for FLATMEM case. These patches pull the commonalities into the generic code and refactor some of the mem_init() implementations so that many of them can be just dropped. This patch (of 13): This will help to pull out memblock_free_all() to generic code.

arm: ptdump: rename CONFIG_DEBUG_WX to CONFIG_ARM_DEBUG_WX

2024-02-22T18:24:47Z

Patch series "mm: ptdump: Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute", v2. This series refactors CONFIG_DEBUG_WX for the 5 architectures implementing CONFIG_GENERIC_PTDUMP First rename stuff in ARM which uses similar names while not implementing CONFIG_GENERIC_PTDUMP. Then define a generic version of debug_checkwx() that calls ptdump_check_wx() when CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is set. Call it immediately after calling mark_rodata_ro() instead of calling it at the end of every mark_rodata_ro(). Then implement a debugfs attribute that can be used to trigger a W^X test at anytime and regardless of CONFIG_DEBUG_WX This patch (of 5): CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is a core option defined in mm/Kconfig.debug To avoid any future conflict, rename ARM version into CONFIG_ARM_DEBUG_WX.

ARM: mm: Make virt_to_pfn() a static inline

2023-05-29T09:27:08Z

Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed (const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments without warnings. Doing this is a bit intrusive: virt_to_pfn() requires PHYS_PFN_OFFSET and PAGE_SHIFT to be defined, and this is defined in , so this must be included *before* . The use of macros were obscuring the unclear inclusion order here, as the macros would eventually be resolved, but a static inline like this cannot be compiled with unresolved macros. The naive solution to include at the top of does not work, because sometimes includes at the end of itself, which would create a confusing inclusion loop. So instead, take the approach to always unconditionally include at the end of arch/arm uses explicitly in a lot of places, however it turns out that if we just unconditionally include into and switch all inclusions of to instead, we enforce the right order and will always have access to the definitions. Put an inclusion guard in place making it impossible to include explicitly.
