The header asm/hvcall.h was previously included indirectly via
smp.h. On non-SMP systems, however, these declarations are excluded
and the build breaks. This is easily fixed by including asm/hvcall.h
directly.
The VPHN feature is only meaningful on NUMA systems that implement
the SPLPAR option, so exclude the VPHN code on systems without
SPLPAR enabled.
Also, expose unmap_cpu_from_node() on systems with SPLPAR enabled,
even if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled.
Lastly, map_cpu_to_node() is now needed by VPHN to manipulate the
node masks after boot time, so remove the __cpuinit annotation to
fix a section mismatch.

This patch sets a timer during boot that will periodically poll the

We need to round memory regions correctly -- specifically, we need to
round reserved region in the more expansive direction (lower limit
down, upper limit up) whereas usable memory regions need to be rounded
in the more restrictive direction (lower limit up, upper limit down).
This introduces two set of inlines:
memblock_region_memory_base_pfn()
memblock_region_memory_end_pfn()
memblock_region_reserved_base_pfn()
memblock_region_reserved_end_pfn()
Although they are antisymmetric (and therefore are technically
duplicates) the use of the different inlines explicitly documents the
programmer's intention.
The lack of proper rounding caused a bug on ARM, which was then found
to also affect other architectures.

Form 1 affinity allows multiple entries in ibm,associativity-reference-points
which represent affinity domains in decreasing order of importance. The
Linux concept of a node is always the first entry, but using the other
values as an input to node_distance() allows the memory allocator to make
better decisions on which node to go first when local memory has been
exhausted.
We keep things simple and create an array indexed by NUMA node, capped at
4 entries. Each time we lookup an associativity property we initialise
the array which is overkill, but since we should only hit this path during
boot it didn't seem worth adding a per node valid bit.

Firmware changed the way it represents memory and cpu affinity on POWER7.
Unfortunately the old method now caps the topology to work around issues
with legacy operating systems. For Linux to get the correct topology we
need to use the new form 1 affinity information.
We set the form 1 field in the client architecture, and if we see "1" in the
ibm,associativity-form property firmware supports form 1 affinity and
we should look at the first field in the ibm,associativity-reference-points
array. If not we use the second field as we always have.

Fix the powerpc NUMA reserve bootmem page selection logic.
commit 8f64e1f2d1 (powerpc: Reserve
in bootmem lmb reserved regions that cross NUMA nodes) changed
the logic for how the powerpc LMB reserved regions were converted
to bootmen reserved regions. As the folowing discussion reports,
the new logic was not correct.
mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() goes through each LMB on the
system that specifies a reserved area. It searches for
active regions that intersect with that LMB and are on the
specified node. It attempts to bootmem-reserve only the area
where the active region and the reserved LMB intersect. We
can not reserve things on other nodes as they may not have
bootmem structures allocated, yet.
We base the size of the bootmem reservation on two possible
things. Normally, we just make the reservation start and
stop exactly at the start and end of the LMB.
However, the LMB reservations are not aware of NUMA nodes and
on occasion a single LMB may cross into several adjacent
active regions. Those may even be on different NUMA nodes
and will require separate calls to the bootmem reserve
functions. So, the bootmem reservation must be trimmed to
fit inside the current active region.
That's all fine and dandy, but we trim the reservation
in a page-aligned fashion. That's bad because we start the
reservation at a non-page-aligned address: physbase.
The reservation may only span 2 bytes, but that those bytes
may span two pfns and cause a reserve_size of 2*PAGE_SIZE.
Take the case where you reserve 0x2 bytes at 0x0fff and
where the active region ends at 0x1000. You'll jump into
that if() statment, but node_ar.end_pfn=0x1 and
start_pfn=0x0. You'll end up with a reserve_size=0x1000,
and then call
reserve_bootmem_node(node, physbase=0xfff, size=0x1000);
0x1000 may not be on the same node as 0xfff. Oops.
In almost all the vm code, end_<anything> is not inclusive.
If you have an end_pfn of 0x1234, page 0x1234 is not
included in the range. Using PFN_UP instead of the
(>> >> PAGE_SHIFT) will make this consistent with the other VM
code.
We also need to do math for the reserved size with physbase
instead of start_pfn. node_ar.end_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT is
*precisely* the end of the node. However,
(start_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) is *NOT* precisely the beginning
of the reserved area. That is, of course, physbase.
If we don't use physbase here, the reserve_size can be
made too large.

Also, add a separate variable to store the physial

This makes it less likely that someone will screw it up
forgetting to convert before returning since the vaddr
is always in a void* and the paddr is always in an

careful_allocation() was calling into the bootmem allocator for
nodes which had not been fully initialized and caused a previous
bug: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/10528/ So, I merged a
few broken out loops in do_init_bootmem() to fix it. That changed
the code ordering.
I think this bug is triggered by having reserved areas for a node
which are spanned by another node's contents. In the
mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code, we attempt to reserve the
area for a node before we have allocated the NODE_DATA() for that
nid. We do this since I reordered that loop. I suck.
This is causing crashes at bootup on some systems, as reported
by Jon Tollefson.
This may only present on some systems that have 16GB pages
reserved. But, it can probably happen on any system that is
trying to reserve large swaths of memory that happen to span other
nodes' contents.
This commit ensures that we do not touch bootmem for any node which
has not been initialized, and also removes a compile warning about
an unused variable.

> freeing bootmem node 0
I've reproduced this on 2.6.27.7. It is caused by commit
8f64e1f2d1 ("powerpc: Reserve in bootmem
lmb reserved regions that cross NUMA nodes").
The problem is that Jon took a loop which was (in pseudocode):
for_each_node(nid)
NODE_DATA(nid) = careful_alloc(nid);
setup_bootmem(nid);
reserve_node_bootmem(nid);
and broke it up into:
for_each_node(nid)
NODE_DATA(nid) = careful_alloc(nid);
setup_bootmem(nid);
for_each_node(nid)
reserve_node_bootmem(nid);
The issue comes in when the 'careful_alloc()' is called on a node with
no memory. It falls back to using bootmem from a previously-initialized
node. But, bootmem has not yet been reserved when Jon's patch is
applied. It gives back bogus memory (0xc000000000000000) and pukes
later in boot.
The following patch collapses the loop back together. It also breaks
the mark_reserved_regions_for_nid() code out into a function and adds
some comments. I think a huge part of introducing this bug is because
for loop was too long and hard to read.
The actual bug fix here is the:
+ if (end_pfn <= node->node_start_pfn ||
+ start_pfn >= node_end_pfn)
+ continue;

If there are multiple reserved memory blocks via lmb_reserve() that are
contiguous addresses and on different NUMA nodes we are losing track of which
address ranges to reserve in bootmem on which node. I discovered this
when I recently got to try 16GB huge pages on a system with more then 2 nodes.
When scanning the device tree in early boot we call lmb_reserve() with
the addresses of the 16G pages that we find so that the memory doesn't
get used for something else. For example the addresses for the pages
could be 4000000000, 4400000000, 4800000000, 4C00000000, etc - 8 pages,
one on each of eight nodes. In the lmb after all the pages have been
reserved it will look something like the following:
lmb_dump_all:
memory.cnt = 0x2
memory.size = 0x3e80000000
memory.region[0x0].base = 0x0
.size = 0x1e80000000
memory.region[0x1].base = 0x4000000000
.size = 0x2000000000
reserved.cnt = 0x5
reserved.size = 0x3e80000000
reserved.region[0x0].base = 0x0
.size = 0x7b5000
reserved.region[0x1].base = 0x2a00000
.size = 0x78c000
reserved.region[0x2].base = 0x328c000
.size = 0x43000
reserved.region[0x3].base = 0xf4e8000
.size = 0xb18000
reserved.region[0x4].base = 0x4000000000
.size = 0x2000000000
The reserved.region[0x4] contains the 16G pages. In
arch/powerpc/mm/num.c: do_init_bootmem() we loop through each of the
node numbers looking for the reserved regions that belong to the
particular node. It is not able to identify region 0x4 as being a part
of each of the 8 nodes. It is assuming that a reserved region is only
on a single node.
This patch takes out the reserved region loop from inside
the loop that goes over each node. It looks up the active region containing
the start of the reserved region. If it extends past that active region then
it adjusts the size and gets the next active region containing it.

Kdump kernel needs to use only those memory regions that it is allowed
to use (crashkernel, rtas, tce, etc.). Each of these regions have
their own sizes and are currently added under 'linux,usable-memory'
property under each memory@xxx node of the device tree.
The ibm,dynamic-memory property of ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory
node (on POWER6) now stores in it the representation for most of the
logical memory blocks with the size of each memory block being a
constant (lmb_size). If one or more or part of the above mentioned
regions lie under one of the lmb from ibm,dynamic-memory property,
there is a need to identify those regions within the given lmb.
This makes the kernel recognize a new 'linux,drconf-usable-memory'
property added by kexec-tools. Each entry in this property is of the
form of a count followed by that many (base, size) pairs for the above
mentioned regions. The number of cells in the count value is given by
the #size-cells property of the root node.
