<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>s390: Unmap early KASAN shadow on memory offlining</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=8543ecc0e03b9367e36a93d82bdef0bf5a16dc56'/>
<id>urn:sha1:8543ecc0e03b9367e36a93d82bdef0bf5a16dc56</id>
<content type='text'>
Teach the memory hotplug path to tear down KASAN shadow that
was mapped during early boot when a memory block is offlined.

Track for each sclp_mem whether its range was covered by the early
KASAN shadow via an early_shadow_mapped flag. When such a block is
deconfigured and removed via sclp_config_mem_store(), compute the
corresponding shadow range and call vmemmap_free() to unmap the
boot mapped shadow, then clear the flag.

Using vmemmap_free() for the early shadow is safe despite the use
of large mappings in the boot-time KASAN setup. The initial shadow
is mapped with 1M and 2G pages, where possible. The minimum hotplug
memory block size is 128M and always aligned (the identity mapping
is at least 2G aligned), which corresponds to a 16M chunk of at
least 1M aligned shadow. PMD-mapped 1M shadow pages therefore
never need splitting, and PUD-mapped 2G shadow pages can now be
split following the preceding changes.

Relax the modify_pagetable() sanity check in vmem so that, with
KASAN enabled, it may also operate on the KASAN shadow region in
addition to the 1:1 mapping and vmemmap area. This allows the KASAN
shadow unmapping to reuse the common vmem helpers.

<title>s390: Remove KMSG_COMPONENT macro</title>

<content type='text'>
The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel
message catalog" which never made it upstream.

Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection. Replace
all users with the string it defines. In almost all cases this leads to a
simple replacement like this:

 - #define KMSG_COMPONENT "appldata"
 - #define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt
 + #define pr_fmt(fmt) "appldata: " fmt

Except for some special cases this is just mechanical/scripted work.

<title>s390/sclp_mem: Consider global memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory setting</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c1287d67c3a91aa19e4d9bbd3ad943cfbfa6bed4</id>
<content type='text'>
When the global kernel command line parameter
memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory is set to false, per-memory-block
memmap_on_memory setting can still be set to true. However, when
configuring memory block, add_memory_resource() would configure it
without memmap_on_memory.

i.e.
Even if the MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY flag is set,
mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory() returns false unless the kernel command
line parameter "memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory" is enabled. When both
the flag and the cmdline parameter are set, the memory block can be
configured with or without memmap_on_memory support.

To ensure consistent behavior, permit configuring per-memory-block
memmap_on_memory only when the memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory kernel
command line parameter is enabled.

This is similar to commit 73954d379efd ("dax: add a sysfs knob to
control memmap_on_memory behavior")

mhp_flag MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE was used to mark memory as not
accessible until memory hotplug online phase begins.

Earlier, standby memory blocks were added upfront during boottime and
MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE flag avoided page_init_poison() on memmap
during mhp addition phase.

However with dynamic runtime configuration of memory, standby memory can
be brought to accessible state before performing add_memory(). Hence,
remove MHP_OFFLINE_INACCESSIBLE.

<id>urn:sha1:ff18dcb19aab83edbe15b1a88ed9520d92e276f5</id>
<content type='text'>
Provide a new interface for dynamic configuration and deconfiguration of
hotplug memory, allowing with/without memmap_on_memory support. It is a
follow up on the discussion with David when introducing memmap_on_memory
support for s390 and support dynamic (de)configuration of memory:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ee492da8-74b4-4a97-8b24-73e07257f01d@redhat.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241202082732.3959803-1-sumanthk@linux.ibm.com/

The original motivation for introducing memmap_on_memory on s390 was to
avoid using online memory to store struct pages metadata, particularly
for standby memory blocks. This became critical in cases where there was
an imbalance between standby and online memory, potentially leading to
boot failures due to insufficient memory for metadata allocation.

To address this, memmap_on_memory was utilized on s390. However, in its
current form, it adds struct pages metadata at the start of each memory
block at the time of addition and this configuration is static. It
cannot be changed at runtime. (When the user needs continuous physical
memory).

Inorder to provide more flexibility to the user and overcome the above
limitation, add option to dynamically configure and deconfigure
hotpluggable memory block with/without memmap_on_memory.

With the new interface, s390 will not add all possible hotplug memory in
advance, like before, to make it visible in sysfs for online/offline
actions. Instead, before memory block can be set online, it has to be
configured via a new interface in /sys/firmware/memory/memoryX/config,
which makes s390 similar to others.  i.e. Adding of hotpluggable memory is
controlled by the user instead of adding it at boottime.

The s390 kernel sysfs interface to configure and deconfigure memory is
as follows (considering the upcoming lsmem changes):

* Initial memory layout:
lsmem -o RANGE,SIZE,STATE,BLOCK,CONFIGURED,MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY
RANGE                 SIZE   STATE BLOCK CONFIGURED MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY
0x00000000-0x7fffffff   2G  online 0-15  yes        no
0x80000000-0xffffffff   2G offline 16-31 no         yes

* Configure memory
sys="/sys"

* Deconfigure memory
echo 0 &gt; $sys/firmware/memory/memory16/config
