<title>PCI: Align head space better</title>

<content type='text'>
When a bridge window contains big and small resource(s), the small
resource(s) may not amount to the half of the size of the big resource
which would allow calculate_head_align() to shrink the head alignment.
This results in always placing the small resource(s) after the big
resource.

In general, it would be good to be able to place the small resource(s)
before the big resource to achieve better utilization of the address space.
In the cases where the large resource can only fit at the end of the
window, it is even required.

However, carrying the information over from pbus_size_mem() and
calculate_head_align() to __pci_assign_resource() and
pcibios_align_resource() is not easy with the current data structures.

A somewhat hacky way to move the non-aligning tail part to the head is
possible within pcibios_align_resource(). The free space between the start
of the free space span and the aligned start address can be compared with
the non-aligning remainder of the size. If the free space is larger than
the remainder, placing the remainder before the start address is possible.
This relocation should generally work, because PCI resources consist only
power-of-2 atoms.

Various arch requirements may still need to override the relocation, so the
relocation is only applied selectively in such cases.

__find_resource_space() calculates the full extent of empty space but only
passes the aligned space to resource_alignf callback. In some situations,
the callback may choose take advantage of the free space before the
requested alignment.

Pass the full extent of the calculated empty space to resource_alignf
callback as an additional parameter.

<title>resource: Add __resource_contains_unbound() for internal contains checks</title>

__find_resource_space() currently uses resource_contains() but for
tentative resources that are not yet crafted into the resource tree. As
resource_contains() checks that IORESOURCE_UNSET is not set for either of
the resources, the caller has to hack around this problem by clearing the
IORESOURCE_UNSET flag (essentially lying to resource_contains()).

Instead of the hack, introduce __resource_contains_unbound() for cases like
this.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<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 *".

Pull CXL updates from Dave Jiang:

 - Introduce cxl_memdev_attach and pave way for soft reserved handling,
   type2 accelerator enabling, and LSA 2.0 enabling. All these series
   require the endpoint driver to settle before continuing the memdev
   driver probe.

 - Address CXL port error protocol handling and reporting.

   The large patch series was split into three parts. The first two
   parts are included here with the final part coming later.

   The first part consists of a series of code refactoring to PCI AER
   sub-system that addresses CXL and also CXL RAS code to prepare for
   port error handling.

   The second part refactors the CXL code to move management of
   component registers to cxl_port objects to allow all CXL AER errors
   to be handled through the cxl_port hierarchy.

 - Provide AMD Zen5 platform address translation for CXL using ACPI
   PRMT. This includes a conventions document to explain why this is
   needed and how it's implemented.

 - Misc CXL patches of fixes, cleanups, and updates. Including CXL
   address translation for unaligned MOD3 regions.

While debugging a PCI resource allocation issue, the resources for many
nested bridges and endpoints got flattened in /proc/iomem by
MAX_IORES_LEVEL that is set to 5. This made the iomem output hard to
read as the visual hierarchy cues were lost.

Increase MAX_IORES_LEVEL to 8 to avoid flattening PCI topologies with
nested bridges so aggressively (the case in the Link has the deepest
resource at level 7 so 8 looks a reasonable limit).

<title>dax/hmem, e820, resource: Defer Soft Reserved insertion until hmem is ready</title>

<id>bc62f5b308cbdedf29132fe96e9d591e526527e1</id>
<content type='text'>
Insert Soft Reserved memory into a dedicated soft_reserve_resource tree
instead of the iomem_resource tree at boot. Delay publishing these ranges
into the iomem hierarchy until ownership is resolved and the HMEM path
is ready to consume them.

Publishing Soft Reserved ranges into iomem too early conflicts with CXL
hotplug and prevents region assembly when those ranges overlap CXL
windows.

Follow up patches will reinsert Soft Reserved ranges into iomem after CXL
window publication is complete and HMEM is ready to claim the memory. This
provides a cleaner handoff between EFI-defined memory ranges and CXL
resource management without trimming or deleting resources later.

In the meantime "Soft Reserved" resources will no longer appear in
/proc/iomem, only their results. I.e. with "memmap=4G%4G+0xefffffff"

Before:
100000000-1ffffffff : Soft Reserved
  100000000-1ffffffff : dax1.0
    100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM (kmem)

After:
100000000-1ffffffff : dax1.0
  100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM (kmem)

The expectation is that this does not lead to a user visible regression
because the dax1.0 device is created in both instances.

Insert Soft Reserved memory into a dedicated soft_reserve_resource tree
instead of the iomem_resource tree at boot. Delay publishing these ranges
into the iomem hierarchy until ownership is resolved and the HMEM path
is ready to consume them.

Publishing Soft Reserved ranges into iomem too early conflicts with CXL
hotplug and prevents region assembly when those ranges overlap CXL
windows.

Follow up patches will reinsert Soft Reserved ranges into iomem after CXL
window publication is complete and HMEM is ready to claim the memory. This
provides a cleaner handoff between EFI-defined memory ranges and CXL
resource management without trimming or deleting resources later.

In the meantime "Soft Reserved" resources will no longer appear in
/proc/iomem, only their results. I.e. with "memmap=4G%4G+0xefffffff"

Before:
100000000-1ffffffff : Soft Reserved
  100000000-1ffffffff : dax1.0
    100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM (kmem)

After:
100000000-1ffffffff : dax1.0
  100000000-1ffffffff : System RAM (kmem)

The expectation is that this does not lead to a user visible regression
because the dax1.0 device is created in both instances.

<title>Reinstate "resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()"</title>

Commit 97523a4edb7b ("kernel/resource: remove first_lvl / siblings_only
logic") removed an optimization introduced by commit 756398750e11
("resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()").  That
was not called out in the message of the first commit explicitly so it's
not entirely clear whether removing the optimization happened
inadvertently or not.

As the original commit message of the optimization explains there is no
point considering the children of a subtree in find_next_iomem_res() if
the top level range does not match.

Reinstating the optimization results in performance improvements in
systems where /proc/iomem is ~5k lines long.  Calling mmap() on /dev/mem
in such platforms takes 700-1500μs without the optimisation and 10-50μs
with the optimisation.

Note that even though commit 97523a4edb7b removed the 'sibling_only'
parameter from next_resource(), newer kernels have basically reinstated it
under the name 'skip_children'.
