totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

<title>memblock: stop using implicit alignment to SMP_CACHE_BYTES</title>

<id>7e1c4e27928e5f87b9b1eaf06dc31773b2f1e7f1</id>
<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:

expression size, min_addr, max_addr, nid;

<title>PM: hibernate: Do not subtract NR_FILE_MAPPED in minimum_image_size()</title>

<id>bdbc98abb3aa323f6323b11db39c740e6f8fc5b1</id>
<content type='text'>
s2disk/s2both may fail unnecessarily and erratically if NR_FILE_MAPPED
is high - for instance when using VMs with VirtualBox and perhaps VMware
Player. In those situations s2disk becomes unreliable and therefore
unusable.

A typical scenario is: user issues a s2disk and it fails. User issues
a second s2disk immediately after that and it succeeds.  And user
wonders why.

The problem is caused by minimum_image_size() in snapshot.c.  The
value it returns is roughly 100% too high because NR_FILE_MAPPED is
subtracted in its calculation.  Eventually the number of preallocated
image pages is falsely too low.

This doesn't matter as long as NR_FILE_MAPPED-values are in a normal
range or in 32bit-environments as the code allows for allocation of
additional pages from highmem.

But with the high values generated by VirtualBox-VMs (a 2-GB-VM causes
NR_FILE_MAPPED go up by 2 GB) it may lead to failure in 64bit-systems.

Not subtracting NR_FILE_MAPPED in minimum_image_size() solves the
problem.

I've done at least hundreds of successful s2both/s2disk now on an
x86_64 system (with and without VirtualBox) which gives me some
confidence that this is right.  It has turned s2disk/s2both from
unusable into 100% reliable.

<title>mm: remove __GFP_COLD</title>

<id>453f85d43fa9ee243f0fc3ac4e1be45615301e3f</id>
<content type='text'>
As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of.  Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact.  Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.

This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache.  Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop.  It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.

The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path.  A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

Convert printks to pr_&lt;level&gt;.

Miscellanea:

o Use pr_fmt with "PM:" and remove "PM: " from format strings
o Coalesce format strings and realign format arguments
o Convert an embedded incorrect function name to "%s: ", __func__
o Convert a couple multi-line formats to multiple pr_&lt;level&gt; calls

As Tetsuo points out:
 "Commit 385386cff4c6 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to
  node counters") broke "Slab:" field of /proc/meminfo . It shows nearly
  0kB"

In addition to /proc/meminfo, this problem also affects the slab
counters OOM/allocation failure info dumps, can cause early -ENOMEM from
overcommit protection, and miscalculate image size requirements during
suspend-to-disk.

This is because the patch in question switched the slab counters from
the zone level to the node level, but forgot to update the global
accessor functions to read the aggregate node data instead of the
aggregate zone data.

Use global_node_page_state() to access the global slab counters.

This header always exists, so doesn't require an ifdef around its
inclusion.  When CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY=y it includes the asm
header, otherwise it provides empty versions of the set_memory_xx()
