<id>8a5b403d71affa098009cc3dff1b2c45113021ad</id>
<content type='text'>
In the irqchip and EFI code, we have what basically amounts to a quirk
to work around a peculiarity in the GICv3 architecture, which permits
the system memory address of LPI tables to be programmable only once
after a CPU reset. This means kexec kernels must use the same memory
as the first kernel, and thus ensure that this memory has not been
given out for other purposes by the time the ITS init code runs, which
is not very early for secondary CPUs.

On systems with many CPUs, these reservations could overflow the
memblock reservation table, and this was addressed in commit:

  eff896288872 ("efi/arm: Defer persistent reservations until after paging_init()")

However, this turns out to have made things worse, since the allocation
of page tables and heap space for the resized memblock reservation table
itself may overwrite the regions we are attempting to reserve, which may
cause all kinds of corruption, also considering that the ITS will still
be poking bits into that memory in response to incoming MSIs.

So instead, let's grow the static memblock reservation table on such
systems so it can accommodate these reservations at an earlier time.
This will permit us to revert the above commit in a subsequent patch.

<title>mm/memblock.c: skip kmemleak for kasan_init()</title>

Kmemleak does not play well with KASAN (tested on both HPE Apollo 70 and
Huawei TaiShan 2280 aarch64 servers).

After calling start_kernel()-&gt;setup_arch()-&gt;kasan_init(), kmemleak early
log buffer went from something like 280 to 260000 which caused kmemleak
disabled and crash dump memory reservation failed.  The multitude of
kmemleak_alloc() calls is from nested loops while KASAN is setting up full
memory mappings, so let early kmemleak allocations skip those
memblock_alloc_internal() calls came from kasan_init() given that those
early KASAN memory mappings should not reference to other memory.  Hence,
no kmemleak false positives.

<title>memblock: replace usage of __memblock_free_early() with memblock_free()</title>

__memblock_free_early() is only used by the convenience wrappers, so
essentially we wrap a call to memblock_free() twice.  Replace calls of
__memblock_free_early() with calls to memblock_free() and drop the former.

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.

totalram_pages, zone-&gt;managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are
protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it.
Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a
store tear.

This patch converts zone-&gt;managed_pages.  Subsequent patches will convert
totalram_panges, totalhigh_pages and eventually managed_page_count_lock
will be removed.

After updating all memblock users to explicitly specify SMP_CACHE_BYTES
alignment rather than use 0, it is still possible that uncovered users may
sneak in.  Add a WARN_ON_ONCE for such cases.

<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:
