commit 6061e65f95713b01f4313cda6637dfe3aa5412b4 upstream.

For ACPI system we suppose the ISA/LPC PIO range is registered together
with PCI root bridge. But the fact is there may be some early access to
the ISA/LPC PIO range before ACPI PCI root register (most of them are
due to abnormal BIOS). Unconditionally register the ISA/LPC PIO range
usually causes ACPI PCI root register fail because of the address range
confliction. So we add a pair of helpers: acpi_add_early_pio() to add
PIO for early access, and acpi_remove_early_pio() to remove PIO before
PCI root register. Since acpi_remove_early_pio() may be called multiple
times, we add an acpi_pio flag to ensure PIO be removed only once.

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

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 *".

Currently we use bottom-up allocation after sparse_init(), the reason is
sparse_init() need a lot of memory, and bottom-up allocation may exhaust
precious low memory (below 4GB). On the other hand, SWIOTLB and CMA need
low memories for DMA32, so swiotlb_init() and dma_contiguous_reserve()
need bottom-up allocation.

Since swiotlb_init() and dma_contiguous_reserve() are both called in
arch_mem_init(), we no longer need bottom-up allocation after that. So
we set the allocation policy to top-down at the end of arch_mem_init(),
in order to avoid later memory allocations (such as KASAN) exhaust low
memory.

This solve at least two problems:
1. Some buggy BIOSes use 0xfd000000~0xfe000000 for secondary CPUs, but
   didn't reserve this range, which causes smpboot failures.
2. Some DMA32 devices, such as Loongson-DRM and OHCI, cannot work with
   KASAN enabled.

Every architecture calls sparse_init() during setup_arch() although the
data structures created by sparse_init() are not used until the
initialization of the core MM.

Beside the code duplication, calling sparse_init() from architecture
specific code causes ordering differences of vmemmap and HVO
initialization on different architectures.

Move the call to sparse_init() from architecture specific code to
free_area_init() to ensure that vmemmap and HVO initialization order is
always the same.

<title>arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory map</title>

<id>d49004c5f0c140bb83c87fab46dcf449cf00eb24</id>
<content type='text'>
To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture
calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone
limits.

Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between
allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map.  Some
architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain
cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes
hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init().

With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it
is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup
code.  Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a
single place.

This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and
initialization.

Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and
place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately
after setup_arch().

After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations
and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map
initialization among different architectures.

As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to
mm_core_early_init().

limits.

Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between
allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map.  Some
architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain
cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes
hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init().

With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it
is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup
code.  Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a
single place.

This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and
initialization.

Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and
place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately
after setup_arch().

After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations
and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map
initialization among different architectures.

As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to
mm_core_early_init().

<title>LoongArch: Correct the calculation logic of thread_count</title>

For thread_count, the current calculation method has a maximum of 255,
which may not be sufficient in the future. Therefore, we are correcting
it now.

<title>LoongArch: Consolidate max_pfn &amp; max_low_pfn calculation</title>

<id>ce5ad03e459ecb3b4993a8f311fd4f2fb3e6ef81</id>

Now there 5 places which calculate max_pfn &amp; max_low_pfn:
1. in fdt_setup() for FDT systems;
2. in memblock_init() for ACPI systems;
3. in init_numa_memory() for NUMA systems;
4. in arch_mem_init() to recalculate for "mem=" cmdline;
5. in paging_init() to recalculate for NUMA systems.

Since memblock_init() is called both for ACPI and FDT systems, move the
calculation out of the for_each_efi_memory_desc() loop can eliminate the
first case. The last case is very questionable (may be derived from the
MIPS/Loongson code) and breaks the "mem=" cmdline, so should be removed.
And then the NUMA version of paging_init() can be also eliminated.

After consolidation there are 3 places of calculation:
1. in memblock_init() for both ACPI and FDT systems;
2. in init_numa_memory() to recalculate for NUMA systems;
3. in arch_mem_init() to recalculate for the "mem=" cmdline.

For all cases the calculation is:
max_pfn = PFN_DOWN(memblock_end_of_DRAM());
max_low_pfn = min(PFN_DOWN(HIGHMEM_START), max_pfn);
