__free_pages_bootmem prepares a page for release to the buddy allocator
and assumes that the struct page is initialised. Parallel initialisation
of struct pages defers initialisation and __free_pages_bootmem can be
called for struct pages that cannot yet map struct page to PFN. This
patch passes PFN to __free_pages_bootmem with no other functional change.

Struct page initialisation had been identified as one of the reasons why
large machines take a long time to boot. Patches were posted a long time ago
to defer initialisation until they were first used. This was rejected on
the grounds it should not be necessary to hurt the fast paths. This series
reuses much of the work from that time but defers the initialisation of
memory to kswapd so that one thread per node initialises memory local to
that node.
After applying the series and setting the appropriate Kconfig variable I
see this in the boot log on a 64G machine
[ 7.383764] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 188ms
[ 7.404253] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 208ms
[ 7.411044] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
[ 7.411551] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 216ms
On a 1TB machine, I see
[ 8.406511] kswapd 3 initialised deferred memory in 1116ms
[ 8.428518] kswapd 1 initialised deferred memory in 1140ms
[ 8.435977] kswapd 0 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
[ 8.437416] kswapd 2 initialised deferred memory in 1148ms
Once booted the machine appears to work as normal. Boot times were measured
from the time shutdown was called until ssh was available again. In the
64G case, the boot time savings are negligible. On the 1TB machine, the
savings were 16 seconds.
Nate Zimmer said:
: On an older 8 TB box with lots and lots of cpus the boot time, as

: this patchset. Non-temporal PMD init (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/23/350)
: drops this to 1045s.
This patch (of 13):
As part of initializing struct page's in 2MiB chunks, we noticed that at
the end of free_all_bootmem(), there was nothing which had forced the
reserved/allocated 4KiB pages to be initialized.
This helper function will be used for that expansion.

Try to allocate all boot time kernel data structures from mirrored
memory.
If we run out of mirrored memory print warnings, but fall back to using
non-mirrored memory to make sure that we still boot.
By number of bytes, most of what we allocate at boot time is the page
structures. 64 bytes per 4K page on x86_64 ... or about 1.5% of total
system memory. For workloads where the bulk of memory is allocated to
applications this may represent a useful improvement to system
availability since 1.5% of total memory might be a third of the memory
allocated to the kernel.

based on attribute
Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to
process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
reading from disk).
But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
be able to recover.
Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.
Gen1: All memory is mirrored
Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the
mirror
Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications
Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
Pro: Keep more of the capacity
Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from
mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance
Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory
controller
Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance
Con: I have to write memory management code to implement
The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations.
This has been broken into two phases:
1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time
allocations
2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the
unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to
select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because
page_alloc.c is scary).
This patch (of 3):
Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on
attribute. No functional changes

There is a lot of duplication in the rubric around actually setting or
clearing a mem region flag. Create a new helper function to do this and
reduce each of memblock_mark_hotplug() and memblock_clear_hotplug() to a
single line.
This will be useful if someone were to add a new mem region flag - which
I hope to be doing some day soon. But it looks like a plausible cleanup
even without that - so I'd like to get it out of the way now.

__next_mem_range()
Let memblock skip the hotpluggable memory regions in __next_mem_range(),
it is used to to prevent memblock from allocating hotpluggable memory
for the kernel at early time. The code is the same as __next_mem_range_rev().
Clear hotpluggable flag before releasing free pages to the buddy
allocator. If we don't clear hotpluggable flag in
free_low_memory_core_early(), the memory which marked hotpluggable flag
will not free to buddy allocator. Because __next_mem_range() will skip
them.

In memblock_find_in_range_node(), we defined ret as int. But it should
be phys_addr_t because it is used to store the return value from
__memblock_find_range_bottom_up().
The bug has not been triggered because when allocating low memory near
the kernel end, the "int ret" won't turn out to be negative. When we
started to allocate memory on other nodes, and the "int ret" could be
minus. Then the kernel will panic.
A simple way to reproduce this: comment out the following code in
numa_init(),
memblock_set_bottom_up(false);
and the kernel won't boot.

Kmemleak could ignore memory blocks allocated via memblock_alloc()
leading to false positives during scanning. This patch adds the
corresponding callbacks and removes kmemleak_free_* calls in
mm/nobootmem.c to avoid duplication.
The kmemleak_alloc() in mm/nobootmem.c is kept since
__alloc_memory_core_early() does not use memblock_alloc() directly.

if HAVE_MEMBLOCK_PHYS_MAP is selected and contains the unmodified

Refactor the memblock code and extend the memblock API to make it
more flexible. With the extended API it is simple to define and
work with additional memory lists.
The static functions memblock_add_region and __memblock_remove are
renamed to memblock_add_range and meblock_remove_range and added to
the memblock API.
The __next_free_mem_range and __next_free_mem_range_rev functions
are replaced with calls to the more generic list walkers
__next_mem_range and __next_mem_range_rev.
To walk an arbitrary memory list two new macros for_each_mem_range
and for_each_mem_range_rev are added. These new macros are used
to define for_each_free_mem_range and for_each_free_mem_range_reverse.

In original __alloc_memory_core_early() for bootmem wrapper, we do not
align size silently.
We should not do that, as later free with old size will leave some range
not freed.
It's obvious that code is copied from memblock_base_nid(), and that code
is wrong for the same reason.
Also remove that in memblock_alloc_base.

Introduce memblock memory allocation APIs which allow to support PAE or
LPAE extension on 32 bits archs where the physical memory start address
can be beyond 4GB. In such cases, existing bootmem APIs which operate
on 32 bit addresses won't work and needs memblock layer which operates
on 64 bit addresses.
So we add equivalent APIs so that we can replace usage of bootmem with
memblock interfaces. Architectures already converted to NO_BOOTMEM use
these new memblock interfaces. The architectures which are still not
converted to NO_BOOTMEM continue to function as is because we still
maintain the fal lback option of bootmem back-end supporting these new
interfaces. So no functional change as such.
In long run, once all the architectures moves to NO_BOOTMEM, we can get
rid of bootmem layer completely. This is one step to remove the core
code dependency with bootmem and also gives path for architectures to
move away from bootmem.
The proposed interface will became active if both CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK
and CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM are specified by arch. In case
!CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM, the memblock() wrappers will fallback to the
existing bootmem apis so that arch's not converted to NO_BOOTMEM
continue to work as is.
The meaning of MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE and MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE
is kept same.

It's recommended to use NUMA_NO_NODE everywhere to select "process any
node" behavior or to indicate that "no node id specified".
Hence, update __next_free_mem_range*() API's to accept both NUMA_NO_NODE
and MAX_NUMNODES, but emit warning once on MAX_NUMNODES, and correct
corresponding API's documentation to describe new behavior. Also,
update other memblock/nobootmem APIs where MAX_NUMNODES is used
dirrectly.

Now the Nobootmem allocator will always try to free memory allocated for
reserved memory regions (free_low_memory_core_early()) without taking
into to account current memblock debugging configuration
(CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK and CONFIG_DEBUG_FS state).
As result if:
- CONFIG_DEBUG_FS defined
- CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK not defined;
- reserved memory regions array have been resized during boot
then:
- memory allocated for reserved memory regions array will be freed to
buddy allocator;
- debug_fs entry "sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved" will show garbage
instead of state of memory reservations. like:
0: 0x98393bc0..0x9a393bbf
1: 0xff120000..0xff11ffff
2: 0x00000000..0xffffffff
Hence, do not free memory allocated for reserved memory regions if
defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) && !defined(CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK).

Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result,
hotpluggable memory used by the kernel won't be able to be hot-removed.
To solve this problem, the basic idea is to prevent memblock from
allocating hotpluggable memory for the kernel at early time, and arrange
all hotpluggable memory in ACPI SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) as
ZONE_MOVABLE when initializing zones.
In the previous patches, we have marked hotpluggable memory regions with
MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG flag in memblock.memory.
In this patch, we make memblock skip these hotpluggable memory regions
in the default top-down allocation function if movable_node boot option
is specified.

In find_hotpluggable_memory, once we find out a memory region which is
hotpluggable, we want to mark them in memblock.memory. So that we could
control memblock allocator not to allocte hotpluggable memory for the
kernel later.
To achieve this goal, we introduce MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG flag to indicate the
hotpluggable memory regions in memblock and a function
memblock_mark_hotplug() to mark hotpluggable memory if we find one.

There is no flag in memblock to describe what type the memory is.
Sometimes, we may use memblock to reserve some memory for special usage.
And we want to know what kind of memory it is. So we need a way to
In hotplug environment, we want to reserve hotpluggable memory so the
kernel won't be able to use it. And when the system is up, we have to
free these hotpluggable memory to buddy. So we need to mark these
memory first.
In order to do so, we need to mark out these special memory in memblock.
In this patch, we introduce a new "flags" member into memblock_region:
struct memblock_region {
phys_addr_t base;
phys_addr_t size;
unsigned long flags; /* This is new. */
#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP
int nid;
#endif
};
This patch does the following things:
1) Add "flags" member to memblock_region.
2) Modify the following APIs' prototype:
memblock_add_region()
memblock_insert_region()
3) Add memblock_reserve_region() to support reserve memory with flags, and keep
memblock_reserve()'s prototype unmodified.
4) Modify other APIs to support flags, but keep their prototype unmodified.
The idea is from Wen Congyang <wency@cn.fujitsu.com> and Liu Jiang <jiang.liu@huawei.com>.

Current memblock APIs don't work on 32 PAE or LPAE extension arches
where the physical memory start address beyond 4GB. The problem was
discussed here [3] where Tejun, Yinghai(thanks) proposed a way forward
with memblock interfaces. Based on the proposal, this series adds
necessary memblock interfaces and convert the core kernel code to use
them. Architectures already converted to NO_BOOTMEM use these new
interfaces and other which still uses bootmem, these new interfaces just
fallback to exiting bootmem APIs.
So no functional change in behavior. In long run, once all the
architectures moves to NO_BOOTMEM, we can get rid of bootmem layer
completely. This is one step to remove the core code dependency with
bootmem and also gives path for architectures to move away from bootmem.
Testing is done on ARM architecture with 32 bit ARM LAPE machines with
normal as well sparse(faked) memory model.
This patch (of 23):
When debugging is enabled (cmdline has "memblock=debug") the memblock
will display upper memory boundary per each allocated/freed memory range
wrongly. For example:
memblock_reserve: [0x0000009e7e8000-0x0000009e7ed000] _memblock_early_alloc_try_nid_nopanic+0xfc/0x12c
The 0x0000009e7ed000 is displayed instead of 0x0000009e7ecfff
Hence, correct this by changing formula used to calculate upper memory
boundary to (u64)base + size - 1 instead of (u64)base + size everywhere
in the debug messages.

The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result,
kernel pages cannot be hot-removed. So we cannot allocate hotpluggable
memory for the kernel.
ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug
info. But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate
memory for the kernel. So we need to prevent memblock from doing this.
In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be
unhotpluggable. And for a modern server, each node could have at least
16GB memory. So memory around the kernel image is highly likely
unhotpluggable.
So the basic idea is: Allocate memory from the end of the kernel image and
to the higher memory. Since memory allocation before SRAT is parsed won't
be too much, it could highly likely be in the same node with kernel image.
The current memblock can only allocate memory top-down. So this patch
introduces a new bottom-up allocation mode to allocate memory bottom-up.
And later when we use this allocation direction to allocate memory, we
will limit the start address above the kernel.

[Problem]
The current Linux cannot migrate pages used by the kernel because of the
kernel direct mapping. In Linux kernel space, va = pa + PAGE_OFFSET.
When the pa is changed, we cannot simply update the pagetable and keep the
va unmodified. So the kernel pages are not migratable.
There are also some other issues will cause the kernel pages not
migratable. For example, the physical address may be cached somewhere and
will be used. It is not to update all the caches.
When doing memory hotplug in Linux, we first migrate all the pages in one
memory device somewhere else, and then remove the device. But if pages
are used by the kernel, they are not migratable. As a result, memory used
by the kernel cannot be hot-removed.
Modifying the kernel direct mapping mechanism is too difficult to do. And
it may cause the kernel performance down and unstable. So we use the
following way to do memory hotplug.
[What we are doing]
In Linux, memory in one numa node is divided into several zones. One of
the zones is ZONE_MOVABLE, which the kernel won't use.
In order to implement memory hotplug in Linux, we are going to arrange all
hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use these
memory. To do this, we need ACPI's help.
In ACPI, SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) contains NUMA info. The
memory affinities in SRAT record every memory range in the system, and
also, flags specifying if the memory range is hotpluggable. (Please refer
to ACPI spec 5.0 5.2.16)
With the help of SRAT, we have to do the following two things to achieve our
goal:
1. When doing memory hot-add, allow the users arranging hotpluggable as
ZONE_MOVABLE.
(This has been done by the MOVABLE_NODE functionality in Linux.)
2. when the system is booting, prevent bootmem allocator from allocating
hotpluggable memory for the kernel before the memory initialization
finishes.
The problem 2 is the key problem we are going to solve. But before solving it,
we need some preparation. Please see below.
[Preparation]
Bootloader has to load the kernel image into memory. And this memory must
be unhotpluggable. We cannot prevent this anyway. So in a memory hotplug
system, we can assume any node the kernel resides in is not hotpluggable.
Before SRAT is parsed, we don't know which memory ranges are hotpluggable.
But memblock has already started to work. In the current kernel,
memblock allocates the following memory before SRAT is parsed:
setup_arch()
|->memblock_x86_fill() /* memblock is ready */
|......
|->early_reserve_e820_mpc_new() /* allocate memory under 1MB */
|->reserve_real_mode() /* allocate memory under 1MB */
|->init_mem_mapping() /* allocate page tables, about 2MB to map 1GB memory */
|->dma_contiguous_reserve() /* specified by user, should be low */
|->setup_log_buf() /* specified by user, several mega bytes */
|->relocate_initrd() /* could be large, but will be freed after boot, should reorder */
|->acpi_initrd_override() /* several mega bytes */
|->reserve_crashkernel() /* could be large, should reorder */
|......
|->initmem_init() /* Parse SRAT */
According to Tejun's advice, before SRAT is parsed, we should try our best
to allocate memory near the kernel image. Since the whole node the kernel
resides in won't be hotpluggable, and for a modern server, a node may have
at least 16GB memory, allocating several mega bytes memory around the
kernel image won't cross to hotpluggable memory.
[About this patchset]
So this patchset is the preparation for the problem 2 that we want to
solve. It does the following:
1. Make memblock be able to allocate memory bottom up.
1) Keep all the memblock APIs' prototype unmodified.
2) When the direction is bottom up, keep the start address greater than the
end of kernel image.
2. Improve init_mem_mapping() to support allocate page tables in
bottom up direction.
3. Introduce "movable_node" boot option to enable and disable this
functionality.
This patch (of 6):
Create a new function __memblock_find_range_top_down to factor out of
top-down allocation from memblock_find_in_range_node. This is a
preparation because we will introduce a new bottom-up allocation mode in
the following patch.

Current early_pfn_to_nid() on arch that support memblock go over
memblock.memory one by one, so will take too many try near the end.
We can use existing memblock_search to find the node id for given pfn,
that could save some time on bigger system that have many entries
memblock.memory array.
Here are the timing differences for several machines. In each case with
the patch less time was spent in __early_pfn_to_nid().

This came to light when calling memblock allocator from arc port (for
copying flattended DT). If a "0" alignment is passed, the allocator
round_up() call incorrectly rounds up the size to 0.
round_up(num, alignto) => ((num - 1) | (alignto -1)) + 1
While the obvious allocation failure causes kernel to panic, it is better
to warn the caller to fix the code.
Tejun suggested that instead of BUG_ON(!align) - which might be
ineffective due to pending console init and such, it is better to WARN_ON,
and continue the boot with a reasonable default align.
Caller passing @size need not be handled similarly as the subsequent
panic will indicate that anyhow.

Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
commit e8d195525809 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
is ready")
It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things
1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
can not be just removed. Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
and make fall back path working.
2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
b. for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
it should be moved before that....
c. it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
early before override from INITRD is settled.
3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
be routed via tip/x86/mm.
4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
anymore.
d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
not good.
If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
node.
We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
be fixed.
So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:
f7210e6c4ac7 ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")
01a178a94e8e ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
SRAT")
27168d38fa20 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
the end of node")
e8d195525809 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is
ready")
fb06bc8e5f42 ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map")
42f47e27e761 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")
6981ec31146c ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
movable limit for nodes")
34b71f1e04fc ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")
4d59a75125d5 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")
Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0. Also
need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

The definition of struct movablecore_map is protected by
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP but its use in memblock_overlaps_region()
is not. So add CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to protect the use of
movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().

The memmove span covers from (next+1) to the end of the array, and the
index of next is (i+1), so the index of (next+1) is (i+2). So the size
of remaining array elements is (type->cnt - (i + 2)).
Since the remaining elements of the memblock array are move forward by
one element and there is only one additional element caused by this bug.
So there won't be any write overflow here but read overflow. It may
read one more element out of the array address if the array happens to
be full. Commonly it doesn't matter at all but if the array happens to
be located at the end a memblock, it may cause a invalid read operation
for the physical address doesn't exist.
There are 2 *happens to be* here, so I think the probability is quite
low, I don't know if any guy is haunted by this bug before.
Mostly I think it's user-invisible.

Following section mismatch warning is thrown during build;
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x32408f): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_type_name() to the variable .meminit.data:memblock
The function memblock_type_name() references
the variable __meminitdata memblock.
This is often because memblock_type_name lacks a __meminitdata
annotation or the annotation of memblock is wrong.
This is because memblock_type_name makes reference to memblock variable
with attribute __meminitdata. Hence, the warning (even if the function is
inline).

memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but
memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the
old range for reserved.regions.
Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this.
| I don't think we're saving any noticeable
| amount by doing this "free - give it to page allocator - reserve
| again" dancing. We should just allocate regions aligned to page
| boundaries and free them later when memblock is no longer in use.
in that case, when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, will get panic:

__alloc_memory_core_early() asks memblock for a range of memory then try
to reserve it. If the reserved region array lacks space for the new
range, memblock_double_array() is called to allocate more space for the
array. If memblock is used to allocate memory for the new array it can
end up using a range that overlaps with the range originally allocated in
__alloc_memory_core_early(), leading to possible data corruption.
With this patch memblock_double_array() now calls memblock_find_in_range()
with a narrowed candidate range (in cases where the reserved.regions array
is being doubled) so any memory allocated will not overlap with the
original range that was being reserved. The range is narrowed by passing
in the starting address and size of the previously allocated range. Then
the range above the ending address is searched and if a candidate is not
found, the range below the starting address is searched.
