Benjamin Gaignard ca279cf106 genalloc: make it possible to use a custom allocation algorithm
Premit use of another algorithm than the default first-fit one.  For
example a custom algorithm could be used to manage alignment requirements.

As I can't predict all the possible requirements/needs for all allocation
uses cases, I add a "free" field 'void *data' to pass any needed
information to the allocation function.  For example 'data' could be used
to handle a structure where you store the alignment, the expected memory
bank, the requester device, or any information that could influence the
allocation algorithm.

An usage example may look like this:
struct my_pool_constraints {
	int align;
	int bank;
	...
};

unsigned long my_custom_algo(unsigned long *map, unsigned long size,
		unsigned long start, unsigned int nr, void *data)
{
	struct my_pool_constraints *constraints = data;
	...
	deal with allocation contraints
	...
	return the index in bitmap where perform the allocation
}

void create_my_pool()
{
	struct my_pool_constraints c;
	struct gen_pool *pool = gen_pool_create(...);
	gen_pool_add(pool, ...);
	gen_pool_set_algo(pool, my_custom_algo, &c);
}

Add of best-fit algorithm function:
most of the time best-fit is slower then first-fit but memory fragmentation
is lower. The random buffer allocation/free tests don't show any arithmetic
relation between the allocation time and fragmentation but the
best-fit algorithm
is sometime able to perform the allocation when the first-fit can't.

This new algorithm help to remove static allocations on ESRAM, a small but
fast on-chip RAM of few KB, used for high-performance uses cases like DMA
linked lists, graphic accelerators, encoders/decoders. On the Ux500
(in the ARM tree) we have define 5 ESRAM banks of 128 KB each and use of
static allocations becomes unmaintainable:
cd arch/arm/mach-ux500 && grep -r ESRAM .
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:/* Base address and bank offsets for ESRAM */
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BASE   0x40000000
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE      0x00020000
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK0  U8500_ESRAM_BASE
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK1       (U8500_ESRAM_BASE + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE)
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK2       (U8500_ESRAM_BANK1 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE)
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK3       (U8500_ESRAM_BANK2 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE)
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_BANK4       (U8500_ESRAM_BANK3 + U8500_ESRAM_BANK_SIZE)
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_ESRAM_DMA_LCPA_OFFSET     0x10000
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCPA_BASE
(U8500_ESRAM_BANK0 + U8500_ESRAM_DMA_LCPA_OFFSET)
./include/mach/db8500-regs.h:#define U8500_DMA_LCLA_BASE U8500_ESRAM_BANK4

I want to use genalloc to do dynamic allocations but I need to be able to
fine tune the allocation algorithm. I my case best-fit algorithm give
better results than first-fit, but it will not be true for every use case.

/*
* Basic general purpose allocator for managing special purpose
* memory, for example, memory that is not managed by the regular
* kmalloc/kfree interface. Uses for this includes on-device special
* memory, uncached memory etc.
*
* It is safe to use the allocator in NMI handlers and other special
* unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This
* is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any
* conflicts. The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in
* extreme cases. For better scalability, one allocator can be used
* for each CPU.
*
* The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory
* available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be
* still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure
* that sufficient memory is preallocated.
*
* The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long.
* On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation,
* the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the
* allocator in NMI handler should depend on
* CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
