cmdline argument is not used in reserve_crashkernel_generic() so remove
it.  Correspondingly, all the callers have been updated as well.

No functional change intended.

The current max_pfn equals to zero. In this case, it causes user cannot
get some page information through /proc filesystem such as kpagecount.
The following message is displayed by stress-ng test suite with command
"stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1".

 # stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1
 stress-ng: error: [1691] physpage: cannot read page count for address 0x134ac000 in /proc/kpagecount, errno=22 (Invalid argument)

 stress-ng: error: [1691] physpage: cannot read page count for address 0x134b0000 in /proc/kpagecount, errno=22 (Invalid argument)
 ...

After applying this patch, the kernel can pass the test.

 # stress-ng --verbose --physpage 1 -t 1

<content type='text'>
Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory.  In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required.  To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`.  This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

   - Add some documentation on the different forms of YAML text blocks

   - Fix some schema errors in constraints for arrays

   - Add compatibles for qcom,sar2130p-pdc and onnn,adt7462

  DT core:

   - Add some warnings on deprecated address handling

   - Rework early_init_dt_scan() so the arch can pass in the phys
     address of the DTB as __pa() is not always valid to use. This fixes
     a warning for arm64 with kexec.

   - Add and use some new DT graph iterators for iterating over ports
     and endpoints

   - Rework reserved-memory handling to be sized dynamically for fixed
     regions

   - Optimize of_modalias() to avoid a strlen() call

 __pa() is only intended to be used for linear map addresses and using
it for initial_boot_params which is in fixmap for arm64 will give an
incorrect value. Hence save the physical address when it is known at
boot time when calling early_init_dt_scan for arm64 and use it at kexec
time instead of converting the virtual address using __pa().

Note that arm64 doesn't need the FDT region reserved in the DT as the
kernel explicitly reserves the passed in FDT. Therefore, only a debug
warning is fixed with this change.

<content type='text'>
In loongson_sysconf, The "core" of cores_per_node and cores_per_package
stands for a logical core, which means in a SMT system it stands for a
thread indeed. This information is gotten from SMBIOS Type4 Structure,
so in order to get a correct cores_per_package for both SMT and non-SMT
systems in parse_cpu_table() we should use SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_OFFSET
instead of SMBIOS_CORE_PACKAGE_OFFSET.

<title>LoongArch: Always enumerate MADT and setup logical-physical CPU mapping</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=12d3b559b85e75640b79995e1320588d6f0d5630'/>
<id>urn:sha1:12d3b559b85e75640b79995e1320588d6f0d5630</id>
<content type='text'>
Some drivers want to use cpu_logical_map(), early_cpu_to_node() and some
other CPU mapping APIs, even if we use "nr_cpus=1" to hard limit the CPU
number. This is strongly required for the multi-bridges machines.

Currently, we stop parsing the MADT if the nr_cpus limit is reached, but
to achieve the above goal we should always enumerate the MADT table and
setup logical-physical CPU mapping whether there is a nr_cpus limit.

Rework the MADT enumeration:

1. Define a flag "cpu_enumerated" to distinguish the first enumeration
   (cpu_enumerated=0) and the physical hotplug case (cpu_enumerated=1)
   for set_processor_mask().

2. If cpu_enumerated=0, stop parsing only when NR_CPUS limit is reached,
   so we can setup logical-physical CPU mapping; if cpu_enumerated=1,
   stop parsing when nr_cpu_ids limit is reached, so we can avoid some
   runtime bugs. Once logical-physical CPU mapping is setup, we will let
   cpu_enumerated=1.

3. Use find_first_zero_bit() instead of cpumask_next_zero() to find the
   next zero bit (free logical CPU id) in the cpu_present_mask, because
   cpumask_next_zero() will stop at nr_cpu_ids.

4. Only touch cpu_possible_mask if cpu_enumerated=0, this is in order to
   avoid some potential crashes, because cpu_possible_mask is marked as
   __ro_after_init.

5. In prefill_possible_map(), clear cpu_present_mask bits greater than
   nr_cpu_ids, in order to avoid a CPU be "present" but not "possible".

fdt_check_header(__dtb_start) will always success because kernel
provides a dummy dtb, and by coincidence __dtb_start clashed with
entry of this dummy dtb. The consequence is fdt passed from firmware
will never be taken.

Fix by trying to utilise __dtb_start only when CONFIG_BUILTIN_DTB is
enabled.

<title>LoongArch: Remove CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE in platform_init()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6c3ca6654a74dd396bc477839ba8d9792eced441</id>
<content type='text'>
Both acpi_table_upgrade() and acpi_boot_table_init() are defined as
empty functions under !CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE and !CONFIG_ACPI in
include/linux/acpi.h, there are no implicit declaration errors with
various configs.

  #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE
  void acpi_table_upgrade(void);
  #else
  static inline void acpi_table_upgrade(void) { }
  #endif

  #ifdef	CONFIG_ACPI
  ...
  void acpi_boot_table_init (void);
  ...
  #else	/* !CONFIG_ACPI */
  ...
  static inline void acpi_boot_table_init(void)
  {
  }
  ...
  #endif	/* !CONFIG_ACPI */

As Huacai suggested, CONFIG_ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE is ugly and not necessary
here, just remove it. At the same time, just keep CONFIG_ACPI to prevent
potential build errors in future, and give a signal to indicate the code
is ACPI-specific. For the same reason, we also put acpi_table_upgrade()
under CONFIG_ACPI.
