The loop over all memblocks works with PFNs and not physical
addresses, so we need for_each_mem_pfn_range().

Fixes: b10d6bca8720 ("arch, drivers: replace for_each_membock() with for_each_mem_range()")

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

<title>arch, drivers: replace for_each_membock() with for_each_mem_range()</title>

There are several occurrences of the following pattern:

	for_each_memblock(memory, reg) {
		start = __pfn_to_phys(memblock_region_memory_base_pfn(reg);
		end = __pfn_to_phys(memblock_region_memory_end_pfn(reg));

		/* do something with start and end */
	}

Using for_each_mem_range() iterator is more appropriate in such cases and
allows simpler and cleaner code.

<title>MIPS: kexec: Add crashkernel=YM handling</title>

<id>262623961478836b0f467f9bbb9a3dd2a0c8a9be</id>
<content type='text'>
When the kernel crashkernel parameter is specified with just a size,
we are supposed to allocate a region from RAM to store the crashkernel.
However, MIPS merely reserves physical address zero with no checking
that there is even RAM there.

Fix this by lifting similar code from x86, importing it to MIPS with the
MIPS specific parameters added. In the absence of any platform specific
information, we allocate the crashkernel region from the first 512MB of
physical memory (limited to CKSEG0 or KSEG0 address range).

When X is not specified, crash_base defaults to 0 (crashkernel=YM@XM).

E.g. without this patch:

The environment as follows:
[    0.000000] MIPS: machine is loongson,loongson64c-4core-ls7a
...
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 crashkernel=96M ...

The warning as follows:
[    0.000000] Invalid memory region reserved for crash kernel

And the iomem as follows:
00200000-0effffff : System RAM
  00200000-00b47f87 : Kernel code
  00b47f88-00dfffff : Kernel data
  00e60000-01f73c7f : Kernel bss
1a000000-1bffffff : pci@1a000000
...

With this patch:

After increasing crash_base &lt;= 0 handling.

And the iomem as follows:
00200000-0effffff : System RAM
  00200000-00b47f87 : Kernel code
  00b47f88-00dfffff : Kernel data

When the kernel crashkernel parameter is specified with just a size,
we are supposed to allocate a region from RAM to store the crashkernel.
However, MIPS merely reserves physical address zero with no checking
that there is even RAM there.

Fix this by lifting similar code from x86, importing it to MIPS with the
MIPS specific parameters added. In the absence of any platform specific
information, we allocate the crashkernel region from the first 512MB of
physical memory (limited to CKSEG0 or KSEG0 address range).

When X is not specified, crash_base defaults to 0 (crashkernel=YM@XM).

E.g. without this patch:

The environment as follows:
[    0.000000] MIPS: machine is loongson,loongson64c-4core-ls7a
...
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 crashkernel=96M ...

The warning as follows:
[    0.000000] Invalid memory region reserved for crash kernel

And the iomem as follows:
00200000-0effffff : System RAM
  00200000-00b47f87 : Kernel code
  00b47f88-00dfffff : Kernel data
  00e60000-01f73c7f : Kernel bss
1a000000-1bffffff : pci@1a000000
...

With this patch:

After increasing crash_base &lt;= 0 handling.

And the iomem as follows:
00200000-0effffff : System RAM
  00200000-00b47f87 : Kernel code
  00b47f88-00dfffff : Kernel data
  00e60000-01f73c7f : Kernel bss
  04000000-09ffffff : Crash kernel
1a000000-1bffffff : pci@1a000000

This addresses the following sparse warning:

arch/mips/kernel/setup.c:446:33: warning: symbol 'setup_elfcorehdr_size'
was not declared. Should it be static?

<title>mm/sparse: cleanup the code surrounding memory_present()</title>

After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent
functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory:
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present().

Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions
preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called
one after the other.

Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by
making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present()
and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function.

Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.
