commit c94afc46cae7ad41b2ad6a99368147879f4b0e56 upstream.

memblock.{reserved,memory}.regions may be allocated using kmalloc() in
memblock_double_array(). Use kfree() to release these kmalloced regions
indicated by memblock_{reserved,memory}_in_slab.

[ Upstream commit 2dcb3964544177c51853a210b6ad400de78ef17d ]

With kaslr the kernel image is placed at a random place, so starting the
bottom-up allocation with the kernel_end can result in an allocation
failure and a warning like this one:

  hugetlb_cma: reserve 2048 MiB, up to 2048 MiB per node

there is no reason to fallback in the case of a failure.  All together it
simplifies the logic.

commit 91b540f98872a206ea1c49e4aa6ea8eed0886644 upstream.

In recently introduced memblock_discard() there is a reversed logic bug.
Memory is freed of static array instead of dynamically allocated one.

commit 3010f876500f9ba921afaeccec30c45ca6584dc8 upstream.

There is existing use after free bug when deferred struct pages are
enabled:

The memblock_add() allocates memory for the memory array if more than
128 entries are needed.  See comment in e820__memblock_setup():

  * The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries
  * (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries
  * than that - so allow memblock resizing.

This memblock memory is freed here:
        free_low_memory_core_early()

We access the freed memblock.memory later in boot when deferred pages
are initialized in this path:

        deferred_init_memmap()
                for_each_mem_pfn_range()
                  __next_mem_pfn_range()
                    type = &amp;memblock.memory;

One possible explanation for why this use-after-free hasn't been hit
before is that the limit of INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS has never been
exceeded at least on systems where deferred struct pages were enabled.

Tested by reducing INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS down to 4 from the current 128,
and verifying in qemu that this code is getting excuted and that the
freed pages are sane.

the reason is that the managed memory is too low (only 110MB) while the
rest of the the 50GB is still waiting for the deferred intialization to
be done.  update_defer_init estimates the initial memoty to initialize
to 2GB at least but it doesn't consider any memory allocated in that
range.  In this particular case we've had

	Reserving 4096MB of memory at 128MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 51200MB)

so the low 2GB is mostly depleted.

Fix this by considering memblock allocations in the initial static
initialization estimation.  Move the max_initialise to
reset_deferred_meminit and implement a simple memblock_reserved_memory
helper which iterates all reserved blocks and sums the size of all that
start below the given address.  The cumulative size is than added on top
of the initial estimation.  This is still not ideal because
reset_deferred_meminit doesn't consider holes and so reservation might
be above the initial estimation whihch we ignore but let's make the
logic simpler until we really need to handle more complicated cases.

<title>mm: kmemleak: avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mapping</title>

<content type='text'>
Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a
physical address to a virtual one using __va().  However, such physical
addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is
incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak.

The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take
a physical address as the object pointer.  They only perform the
corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping:

kmemleak_alloc_phys
kmemleak_free_part_phys
kmemleak_not_leak_phys
kmemleak_ignore_phys

The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak
API.

The total reserved memory in a system is accounted but not available for
use use outside mm/memblock.c.  By exposing the total reserved memory,
systems can better calculate the size of large hashes.

It causes NULL dereference error and failure to get type_a-&gt;regions[0]
info if parameter type_b of __next_mem_range_rev() == NULL

Fix this by checking before dereferring and initializing idx_b to 0

The approach is tested by dumping all types of region via
__memblock_dump_all() and __next_mem_range_rev() fixed to UART
separately the result is okay after checking the logs.
