<content type='text'>
When a memblock allocation APIs are called with align = 0, the alignment
is implicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES.

Implicit alignment is done deep in the memblock allocator and it can
come as a surprise.  Not that such an alignment would be wrong even
when used incorrectly but it is better to be explicit for the sake of
clarity and the prinicple of the least surprise.

Replace all such uses of memblock APIs with the 'align' parameter
explicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES and stop implicit alignment assignment
in the memblock internal allocation functions.

For the case when memblock APIs are used via helper functions, e.g.  like
iommu_arena_new_node() in Alpha, the helper functions were detected with
Coccinelle's help and then manually examined and updated where
appropriate.

The direct memblock APIs users were updated using the semantic patch below:

The alloc_bootmem(size) is a shortcut for allocation of SMP_CACHE_BYTES
aligned memory. When the align parameter of memblock_alloc() is 0, the
alignment is implicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES and thus alloc_bootmem(size)
and memblock_alloc(size, 0) are equivalent.

The conversion is done using the following semantic patch:

commit 124049decbb1 ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into
memblock.reserved") breaks movable_node kernel option because it changed
the memory gap range to reserved memblock.  So, the node is marked as
Normal zone even if the SRAT has Hot pluggable affinity.

The original issue is fixed by the former patches, so let's revert commit
124049decbb1 ("x86/e820: put !E820_TYPE_RAM regions into
memblock.reserved").

According to kernel bisection, this problem became visible due to commit
f7f99100d8d9 ("mm: stop zeroing memory during allocation in vmemmap")
which changes how struct pages are initialized.

Memblock layout affects the pfn ranges covered by node/zone.  Consider
that we have a VM with 2 NUMA nodes and each node has 4GB memory, and
the default (no memmap= given) memblock layout is like below:

  MEMBLOCK configuration:
   memory size = 0x00000001fff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000
   memory.cnt  = 0x4
   memory[0x0]     [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
   memory[0x1]     [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
   memory[0x2]     [0x0000000100000000-0x000000013fffffff], 0x0000000040000000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
   memory[0x3]     [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0
   ...

If you give memmap=1G!4G (so it just covers memory[0x2]),
the range [0x100000000-0x13fffffff] is gone:

  MEMBLOCK configuration:
   memory size = 0x00000001bff75c00 reserved size = 0x000000000300c000
   memory.cnt  = 0x3
   memory[0x0]     [0x0000000000001000-0x000000000009efff], 0x000000000009e000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
   memory[0x1]     [0x0000000000100000-0x00000000bffd6fff], 0x00000000bfed7000 bytes on node 0 flags: 0x0
   memory[0x2]     [0x0000000140000000-0x000000023fffffff], 0x0000000100000000 bytes on node 1 flags: 0x0
   ...

This causes shrinking node 0's pfn range because it is calculated by the
address range of memblock.memory.  So some of struct pages in the gap
range are left uninitialized.

We have a function zero_resv_unavail() which does zeroing the struct pages
within the reserved unavailable range (i.e.  memblock.memory &amp;&amp;
!memblock.reserved).  This patch utilizes it to cover all unavailable
ranges by putting them into memblock.reserved.

Converting pr_fmt from a default simple #define to use KBUILD_MODNAME
added some duplicate prefixes.

Remove the duplicate prefixes.

Add a more versatile memmap= operator, which -- in addition to all the
things that were possible before -- allows you to:

- redeclare existing ranges -- before, you were limited to adding ranges;
- drop any range -- like a mem= for any location;
- use any e820 memory type -- not just some predefined ones.

The syntax is:

  memmap=&lt;size&gt;%&lt;offset&gt;-&lt;oldtype&gt;+&lt;newtype&gt;

Size and offset work as usual. The "-&lt;oldtype&gt;" and "+&lt;newtype&gt;" are
optional and their existence determine the behavior: The command
works on the specified range of memory limited to type &lt;oldtype&gt;
(if specified). This memory is then configured to show up as &lt;newtype&gt;.
If &lt;newtype&gt; is not specified, the memory is removed from the e820 map.

<title>x86/boot/e820: Introduce the bootloader provided e820_table_firmware[] table</title>

<id>urn:sha1:12df216c61c89e31e27e74146115a9728880ca6f</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the real e820_tabel_firmware[] that will not be modified by the kernel
or the EFI boot stub under any circumstance.

In addition to that modify the code so that e820_table_firmwarep[] is
exposed via sysfs to represent the real firmware memory layout,
rather than exposing the e820_table_kexec[] table.

This fixes a hibernation bug/warning, which uses e820_table_kexec[] to check
RAM layout consistency across hibernation/resume:

  The suspend kernel:
  [    0.000000] e820: update [mem 0x76671018-0x76679457] usable ==&gt; usable

  The resume kernel:
  [    0.000000] e820: update [mem 0x7666f018-0x76677457] usable ==&gt; usable
  ...
  [   15.752088] PM: Using 3 thread(s) for decompression.
  [   15.752088] PM: Loading and decompressing image data (471870 pages)...
  [   15.764971] Hibernate inconsistent memory map detected!
  [   15.770833] PM: Image mismatch: architecture specific data

Actually it is safe to restore these pages because E820_TYPE_RAM and
E820_TYPE_RESERVED_KERN are treated the same during hibernation, so
the original e820 table provided by the bootloader is used for
hibernation MD5 fingerprint checking.

The side effect is that, this newly introduced variable might increase the
kernel size at compile time.

<title>x86/boot/e820: Rename the e820_table_firmware to e820_table_kexec</title>

Currently the e820_table_firmware[] table is mainly used by the kexec,
and it is not what it's supposed to be - despite its name it might be
modified by the kernel.

So change its name to e820_table_kexec[]. In the next patch we will
introduce the real e820_table_firmware[] table.

No functional change.
