PCI BAR IO memory should never be mapped as WB, however prior to this
the PAT bits were set WB and it was typically overridden by MTRR
registers set by the firmware.

Set PCI P2PDMA memory to be UC as this is what it currently, typically,
ends up being mapped as on x86 after the MTRR registers override the
cache setting.

Future use-cases may need to generalize this by adding flags to select
the caching type, as some P2PDMA cases may not want UC.  However, those
use-cases are not upstream yet and this can be changed when they arrive.

<title>mm/memory_hotplug: add pgprot_t to mhp_params</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bfeb022f8fe4c5afdcfd7a3d868fac9765f9bcad</id>
<content type='text'>
devm_memremap_pages() is currently used by the PCI P2PDMA code to create
struct page mappings for IO memory.  At present, these mappings are
created with PAGE_KERNEL which implies setting the PAT bits to be WB.
However, on x86, an mtrr register will typically override this and force
the cache type to be UC-.  In the case firmware doesn't set this
register it is effectively WB and will typically result in a machine
check exception when it's accessed.

Other arches are not currently likely to function correctly seeing they
don't have any MTRR registers to fall back on.

To solve this, provide a way to specify the pgprot value explicitly to
arch_add_memory().

Of the arches that support MEMORY_HOTPLUG: x86_64, and arm64 need a
simple change to pass the pgprot_t down to their respective functions
which set up the page tables.  For x86_32, set the page tables
explicitly using _set_memory_prot() (seeing they are already mapped).

For ia64, s390 and sh, reject anything but PAGE_KERNEL settings -- this
should be fine, for now, seeing these architectures don't support
ZONE_DEVICE.

A check in __add_pages() is also added to ensure the pgprot parameter
was set for all arches.

The mhp_restrictions struct really doesn't specify anything resembling a
restriction anymore so rename it to be mhp_params as it is a list of
extended parameters.

<content type='text'>
Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "There were multiple touches outside of drivers/nvdimm/ this round to
  add cross arch compatibility to the devm_memremap_pages() interface,
  enhance numa information for persistent memory ranges, and add a
  zero_page_range() dax operation.

  This cycle I switched from the patchwork api to Konstantin's b4 script
  for collecting tags (from x86, PowerPC, filesystem, and device-mapper
  folks), and everything looks to have gone ok there. This has all
  appeared in -next with no reported issues.

  Summary:

   - Add support for region alignment configuration and enforcement to
     fix compatibility across architectures and PowerPC page size
     configurations.

   - Introduce 'zero_page_range' as a dax operation. This facilitates
     filesystem-dax operation without a block-device.

   - Introduce phys_to_target_node() to facilitate drivers that want to
     know resulting numa node if a given reserved address range was
     onlined.

   - Advertise a persistence-domain for of_pmem and papr_scm. The
     persistence domain indicates where cpu-store cycles need to reach
     in the platform-memory subsystem before the platform will consider
     them power-fail protected.

   - Promote numa_map_to_online_node() to a cross-kernel generic
     facility.

   - Save x86 numa information to allow for node-id lookups for reserved
     memory ranges, deploy that capability for the e820-pmem driver.

   - Pick up some miscellaneous minor fixes, that missed v5.6-final,
     including a some smatch reports in the ioctl path and some unit
     test compilation fixups.

   - Fixup some flexible-array declarations"

<id>urn:sha1:9ffc1d19fc4a6dfcfe06c91c2861ad6d44fdd92d</id>
<content type='text'>
The "sub-section memory hotplug" facility allows memremap_pages() users
like libnvdimm to compensate for hardware platforms like x86 that have a
section size larger than their hardware memory mapping granularity.  The
compensation that sub-section support affords is being tolerant of
physical memory resources shifting by units smaller (64MiB on x86) than
the memory-hotplug section size (128 MiB). Where the platform
physical-memory mapping granularity is limited by the number and
capability of address-decode-registers in the memory controller.

While the sub-section support allows memremap_pages() to operate on
sub-section (2MiB) granularity, the Power architecture may still
require 16MiB alignment on "!radix_enabled()" platforms.

In order for libnvdimm to be able to detect and manage this per-arch
limitation, introduce memremap_compat_align() as a common minimum
alignment across all driver-facing memory-mapping interfaces, and let
Power override it to 16MiB in the "!radix_enabled()" case.

The assumption / requirement for 16MiB to be a viable
memremap_compat_align() value is that Power does not have platforms
where its equivalent of address-decode-registers never hardware remaps a
persistent memory resource on smaller than 16MiB boundaries. Note that I
tried my best to not add a new Kconfig symbol, but header include
entanglements defeated the #ifndef memremap_compat_align design pattern
and the need to export it defeats the __weak design pattern for arch
overrides.

Based on an initial patch by Aneesh.

<title>mm: devmap: refactor 1-based refcounting for ZONE_DEVICE pages</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=07d8026995287c2a2f03e28c69cdd8152fa69107'/>
<id>urn:sha1:07d8026995287c2a2f03e28c69cdd8152fa69107</id>
<content type='text'>
An upcoming patch changes and complicates the refcounting and especially
the "put page" aspects of it.  In order to keep everything clean,
refactor the devmap page release routines:

* Rename put_devmap_managed_page() to page_is_devmap_managed(), and
  limit the functionality to "read only": return a bool, with no side
  effects.

* Add a new routine, put_devmap_managed_page(), to handle decrementing
  the refcount for ZONE_DEVICE pages.

* Change callers (just release_pages() and put_page()) to check
  page_is_devmap_managed() before calling the new
  put_devmap_managed_page() routine.  This is a performance point:
  put_page() is a hot path, so we need to avoid non- inline function calls
  where possible.

* Rename __put_devmap_managed_page() to free_devmap_managed_page(), and
  limit the functionality to unconditionally freeing a devmap page.

This is originally based on a separate patch by Ira Weiny, which applied
to an early version of the put_user_page() experiments.  Since then,
Jérôme Glisse suggested the refactoring described above.

<content type='text'>
After the removal of the device-public infrastructure there are only 2
-&gt;page_free() call backs in the kernel.  One of those is a
device-private callback in the nouveau driver, the other is a generic
wakeup needed in the DAX case.  In the hopes that all -&gt;page_free()
callbacks can be migrated to common core kernel functionality, move the
device-private specific actions in __put_devmap_managed_page() under the
is_device_private_page() conditional, including the -&gt;page_free()
callback.  For the other page types just open-code the generic wakeup.

Yes, the wakeup is only needed in the MEMORY_DEVICE_FSDAX case, but it
does no harm in the MEMORY_DEVICE_DEVDAX and MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA
case.

We currently try to shrink a single zone when removing memory.  We use
the zone of the first page of the memory we are removing.  If that
memmap was never initialized (e.g., memory was never onlined), we will
read garbage and can trigger kernel BUGs (due to a stale pointer):

Instead, shrink the zones when offlining memory or when onlining failed.
Introduce and use remove_pfn_range_from_zone(() for that.  We now
properly shrink the zones, even if we have DIMMs whereby

 - Some memory blocks fall into no zone (never onlined)

 - Some memory blocks fall into multiple zones (offlined+re-onlined)

 - Multiple memory blocks that fall into different zones

Drop the zone parameter (with a potential dubious value) from
__remove_pages() and __remove_section().
