1. move page_ext_get and page_ext_put down to remove forward
declaration of lookup_page_ext.
2. move page_ext_init_flatmem_late down to existing non SPARS block to
remove a new non SPARS block and to keep code for non SPARS tight.

If init_section_page_ext failed, we only need rollback for mem_section
before failed mem_section. Make rollback end point to failed mem_section
to remove unnecessary rollback.
As pfn += PAGES_PER_SECTION will be executed even if init_section_page_ext
failed. So pfn points to mem_section after failed mem_section. Subtract
one mem_section from pfn to get failed mem_section.

Patch series "minor cleanups for page_ext".
This series contains some random minor cleanups for page_ext. More
details can be found in respective patches.
This patch (of 3):
offline_page_ext always returns 0 and no caller checks the return value.
Just remove unused return value of offline_page_ext.

page_ext must be initialized after all struct pages are initialized.
Therefore, page_ext is initialized after page_alloc_init_late(), and can
optionally be initialized earlier via early_page_ext kernel parameter
which as a side effect also disables deferred struct pages.
Allow to automatically init page_ext early when there are no deferred
struct pages in order to be able to use page_ext during kernel boot and
track for example page allocations early.

There is 8 byte page_ext->flags field allocated per page whenever
CONFIG_PAGE_EXTENSION is enabled. However, not every user of page_ext
uses flags. Therefore, check whether flags is needed at least by one user
and if so allocate space for it.
For example when page_table_check is enabled, on a machine with 128G
of memory before the fix:
[ 2.244288] allocated 536870912 bytes of page_ext
after the fix:
[ 2.160154] allocated 268435456 bytes of page_ext
Also, add a kernel-doc comment before page_ext_operations that describes
the fields, and remove check if need() is set, as that is now a required
field.

The priority of hotplug memory callback is defined in a different file.
And there are some callers using numbers directly. Collect them together
into include/linux/memory.h for easy reading. This allows us to sort
their priorities more intuitively without additional comments.

In commit 2f1ee0913ce5 ("Revert "mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in
page_ext_init""), we call page_ext_init() after page_alloc_init_late() to
avoid some panic problem. It seems that we cannot track early page
allocations in current kernel even if page structure has been initialized
early.
This patch introduces a new boot parameter 'early_page_ext' to resolve
this problem. If we pass it to the kernel, page_ext_init() will be moved
up and the feature 'deferred initialization of struct pages' will be
disabled to initialize the page allocator early and prevent the panic
problem above. It can help us to catch early page allocations. This is
useful especially when we find that the free memory value is not the same
right after different kernel booting.

The below is one path where race between page_ext and offline of the
respective memory blocks will cause use-after-free on the access of
page_ext structure.
process1 process2
--------- ---------
a)doing /proc/page_owner doing memory offline
through offline_pages.
b) PageBuddy check is failed
thus proceed to get the
page_owner information
through page_ext access.
page_ext = lookup_page_ext(page);
migrate_pages();
.................
Since all pages are successfully
migrated as part of the offline
operation,send MEM_OFFLINE notification
where for page_ext it calls:
offline_page_ext()-->
__free_page_ext()-->
free_page_ext()-->
vfree(ms->page_ext)
mem_section->page_ext = NULL
c) Check for the PAGE_EXT
flags in the page_ext->flags
access results into the
use-after-free (leading to
the translation faults).
As mentioned above, there is really no synchronization between page_ext
access and its freeing in the memory_offline.
The memory offline steps(roughly) on a memory block is as below:
1) Isolate all the pages
2) while(1)
try free the pages to buddy.(->free_list[MIGRATE_ISOLATE])
3) delete the pages from this buddy list.
4) Then free page_ext.(Note: The struct page is still alive as it is
freed only during hot remove of the memory which frees the memmap,
which steps the user might not perform).
This design leads to the state where struct page is alive but the struct
page_ext is freed, where the later is ideally part of the former which
just representing the page_flags (check [3] for why this design is
chosen).
The abovementioned race is just one example __but the problem persists in
the other paths too involving page_ext->flags access(eg:
page_is_idle())__.
Fix all the paths where offline races with page_ext access by maintaining
synchronization with rcu lock and is achieved in 3 steps:
1) Invalidate all the page_ext's of the sections of a memory block by
storing a flag in the LSB of mem_section->page_ext.
2) Wait until all the existing readers to finish working with the
->page_ext's with synchronize_rcu(). Any parallel process that starts
after this call will not get page_ext, through lookup_page_ext(), for
the block parallel offline operation is being performed.
3) Now safely free all sections ->page_ext's of the block on which
offline operation is being performed.
Note: If synchronize_rcu() takes time then optimizations can be done in
this path through call_rcu()[2].

"page_idle_ops" as a global var, but its scope of use within this
document. So it should be static.
"page_ext_ops" is a var used in the kernel initial phase. And other
functions are aslo used in the kernel initial phase. So they should be
__init or __initdata to reclaim memory.

Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed.
Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double
mapping.
When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify
that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice
versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that
this page does not have an anonymous mapping
We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed
(i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages.
Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page"
metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or
mapcount become invalid.

Once upon a time, the node demotion updates were driven solely by memory
hotplug events. But now, there are handlers for both CPU and memory
hotplug.
However, the #ifdef around the code checks only memory hotplug. A
system that has HOTPLUG_CPU=y but MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n would miss CPU
hotplug events.
Update the #ifdef around the common code. Add memory and CPU-specific
#ifdefs for their handlers. These memory/CPU #ifdefs avoid unused
function warnings when their Kconfig option is off.

PG_idle and PG_young allow the two PTE Accessed bit users, Idle Page
Tracking and the reclaim logic concurrently work while not interfering
with each other. That is, when they need to clear the Accessed bit, they
set PG_young to represent the previous state of the bit, respectively.
And when they need to read the bit, if the bit is cleared, they further
read the PG_young to know whether the other has cleared the bit meanwhile
or not.
For yet another user of the PTE Accessed bit, we could add another page
flag, or extend the mechanism to use the flags. For the DAMON usecase,
however, we don't need to do that just yet. IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING and DAMON
are mutually exclusive, so there's only ever going to be one user of the
current set of flags.
In this commit, we split out the CONFIG options to allow for the use of
PG_young and PG_idle outside of idle page tracking.
In the next commit, DAMON's reference implementation of the virtual memory
address space monitoring primitives will use it.

Page owner of pages used by page owner itself used is missing on arm32
targets. The reason is dummy_handle and failure_handle is not initialized
correctly. Buddy allocator is used to initialize these two handles.
However, buddy allocator is not ready when page owner calls it. This
change fixed that by initializing page owner after buddy initialization.
The working flow before and after this change are:
original logic:
1. allocated memory for page_ext(using memblock).
2. invoke the init callback of page_ext_ops like page_owner(using buddy
allocator).
3. initialize buddy.
after this change:
1. allocated memory for page_ext(using memblock).
2. initialize buddy.
3. invoke the init callback of page_ext_ops like page_owner(using buddy
allocator).
with the change, failure/dummy_handle can get its correct value and page
owner output for example has the one for page owner itself:
Page allocated via order 2, mask 0x6202c0(GFP_USER|__GFP_NOWARN), pid 1006, ts 67278156558 ns

After introducing mem sub section concept, pfn_present() loses its literal
meaning, and will not be necessary a truth on partial populated mem
section.
Since all of the callers use it to judge an absent section, it is better
to rename pfn_present() as pfn_in_present_section().

Patch series "followups to debug_pagealloc improvements through
page_owner", v3.
These are followups to [1] which made it to Linus meanwhile. Patches 1
and 3 are based on Kirill's review, patch 2 on KASAN request [2]. It
would be nice if all of this made it to 5.4 with [1] already there (or
at least Patch 1).
This patch (of 3):
As noted by Kirill, commit 7e2f2a0cd17c ("mm, page_owner: record page
owner for each subpage") has introduced an off-by-one error in
__set_page_owner_handle() when looking up page_ext for subpages. As a
result, the head page page_owner info is set twice, while for the last
tail page, it's not set at all.
Fix this and also make the code more efficient by advancing the page_ext
pointer we already have, instead of calling lookup_page_ext() for each
subpage. Since the full size of struct page_ext is not known at compile
time, we can't use a simple page_ext++ statement, so introduce a
page_ext_next() inline function for that.

When debug_pagealloc is enabled, we currently allocate the page_ext
array to mark guard pages with the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD flag. Now that
we have the page_type field in struct page, we can use that instead, as
guard pages are neither PageSlab nor mapped to userspace. This reduces
memory overhead when debug_pagealloc is enabled and there are no other
features requiring the page_ext array.

After offlining a memory block, kmemleak scan will trigger a crash, as
it encounters a page ext address that has already been freed during
memory offlining. At the beginning in alloc_page_ext(), it calls
kmemleak_alloc(), but it does not call kmemleak_free() in
free_page_ext().

Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3.
All these places for replacement were found by running the following
grep patterns on the entire kernel code. Please let me know if this
might have missed some instances. This might also have replaced some
false positives. I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review.
1. git grep "nid == -1"
2. git grep "node == -1"
3. git grep "nid = -1"
4. git grep "node = -1"
This patch (of 2):
At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is
encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to
have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node
number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA
related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting
them to a common definition.

This reverts commit fe53ca54270a ("mm: use early_pfn_to_nid in
page_ext_init").
When booting a system with "page_owner=on",
start_kernel
page_ext_init
invoke_init_callbacks
init_section_page_ext
init_page_owner
init_early_allocated_pages
init_zones_in_node
init_pages_in_zone
lookup_page_ext
page_to_nid
The issue here is that page_to_nid() will not work since some page flags
have no node information until later in page_alloc_init_late() due to
DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT. Hence, it could trigger an out-of-bounds
access with an invalid nid.
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ./include/linux/mm.h:1104:50
index 7 is out of range for type 'zone [5]'
Also, kernel will panic since flags were poisoned earlier with,
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y
CONFIG_NODE_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS=n
start_kernel
setup_arch
pagetable_init
paging_init
sparse_init
sparse_init_nid
memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw
It did not handle it well in init_pages_in_zone() which ends up calling
page_to_nid().
page:ffffea0004200000 is uninitialized and poisoned
raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
page_owner info is not active (free page?)
kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:990!
RIP: 0010:init_page_owner+0x486/0x520
This means that assumptions behind commit fe53ca54270a ("mm: use
early_pfn_to_nid in page_ext_init") are incomplete. Therefore, revert
the commit for now. A proper way to move the page_owner initialization
to sooner is to hook into memmap initialization.

lookup_page_ext() finds 'struct page_ext' for a given page. It requires
only read access to the given struct page.
Current implemnentation takes 'struct page *' as an argument. It makes
compiler complain when 'const struct page *' passed.
Change the argument to 'const struct page *'.

nothing uses it
static struct page_ext_operations *page_ext_ops[] always contains debug_guardpage_ops,
static struct page_ext_operations *page_ext_ops[] = {
&debug_guardpage_ops,
#ifdef CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER

#endif
...
}
but for it to work, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC must be enabled first. If
someone has CONFIG_PAGE_EXTENSION, but has none of its users, eg:
(CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING),
we can shrink page_ext_init() to a simple retq.

online_page_ext() and page_ext_init() allocate page_ext for each
section, but they do not allocate if the first PFN is !pfn_present(pfn)
or !pfn_valid(pfn). Then section->page_ext remains as NULL.
lookup_page_ext checks NULL only if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled. For a
valid PFN, __set_page_owner will try to get page_ext through
lookup_page_ext. Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM lookup_page_ext will misuse
NULL pointer as value 0. This incurrs invalid address access.
This is the panic example when PFN 0x100000 is not valid but PFN
0x13FC00 is being used for page_ext. section->page_ext is NULL,
get_entry returned invalid page_ext address as 0x1DFA000 for a PFN
0x13FC00.
To avoid this panic, CONFIG_DEBUG_VM should be removed so that page_ext
will be checked at all times.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Commit f52407ce2dea ("memory hotplug: alloc page from other node in
memory online") has introduced N_HIGH_MEMORY checks to only use NUMA
aware allocations when there is some memory present because the
respective node might not have any memory yet at the time and so it
could fail or even OOM.
Things have changed since then though. Zonelists are now always
initialized before we do any allocations even for hotplug (see
959ecc48fc75 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: fix building of node hotplug
zonelist")).
Therefore these checks are not really needed. In fact caller of the
allocator should never care about whether the node is populated because
that might change at any time.

On SPARSEMEM systems page poisoning is enabled after buddy is up,
because of the dependency on page extension init. This causes the pages
released by free_all_bootmem not to be poisoned. This either delays or
misses the identification of some issues because the pages have to
undergo another cycle of alloc-free-alloc for any corruption to be
detected.
Enable page poisoning early by getting rid of the PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_POISON
flag. Since all the free pages will now be poisoned, the flag need not
be verified before checking the poison during an alloc.

Until now, if some page_ext users want to use it's own field on
page_ext, it should be defined in struct page_ext by hard-coding. It
has a problem that wastes memory in following situation.
struct page_ext {
#ifdef CONFIG_A
int a;
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_B
int b;
#endif
};
Assume that kernel is built with both CONFIG_A and CONFIG_B. Even if we
enable feature A and doesn't enable feature B at runtime, each entry of
struct page_ext takes two int rather than one int. It's undesirable
result so this patch tries to fix it.
To solve above problem, this patch implements to support extra space
allocation at runtime. When need() callback returns true, it's extra
memory requirement is summed to entry size of page_ext. Also, offset
for each user's extra memory space is returned. With this offset, user
can use this extra space and there is no need to define needed field on
page_ext by hard-coding.
This patch only implements an infrastructure. Following patch will use
it for page_owner which is only user having it's own fields on page_ext.

page_ext_init() checks suitable pages with pfn_to_nid(), but
pfn_to_nid() depends on memmap which will not be setup fully until
page_alloc_init_late() is done. Use early_pfn_to_nid() instead of
pfn_to_nid() so that page extension could be still used early even
though CONFIG_ DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled and catch early page
allocation call sites.
Suggested by Joonsoo Kim [1], this fix basically undoes the change
introduced by commit b8f1a75d61d840 ("mm: call page_ext_init() after all
struct pages are initialized") and fixes the same problem with a better
approach.

By default, page poisoning uses a poison value (0xaa) on free. If this
is changed to 0, the page is not only sanitized but zeroing on alloc
with __GFP_ZERO can be skipped as well. The tradeoff is that detecting
corruption from the poisoning is harder to detect. This feature also
cannot be used with hibernation since pages are not guaranteed to be
zeroed after hibernation.

Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or
memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system
efficiently, e.g. by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately.
Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided
by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the
access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to
clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced. However,
this method has two serious shortcomings:
- it does not count unmapped file pages
- it affects the reclaimer logic
To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags,
Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.
A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page,
and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables
(it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2)
system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for
pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g. by reading
/proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its
working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount
of pages that are not used by the workload.
The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory
reclaimer. A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page
table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file.
If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its
return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was
cleared.
Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature
uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It
is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.
This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When
allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
analyze it from this stored information.
In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
without considerable memory waste.
Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the
trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.
Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For
example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this
patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature
using this interface.
I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

Until now, debug-pagealloc needs extra flags in struct page, so we need to
recompile whole source code when we decide to use it. This is really
painful, because it takes some time to recompile and sometimes rebuild is
not possible due to third party module depending on struct page. So, we
can't use this good feature in many cases.
Now, we have the page extension feature that allows us to insert extra
flags to outside of struct page. This gets rid of third party module
issue mentioned above. And, this allows us to determine if we need extra
memory for this page extension in boottime. With these property, we can
avoid using debug-pagealloc in boottime with low computational overhead in
the kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. This will help our
development process greatly.
This patch is the preparation step to achive above goal. debug-pagealloc
originally uses extra field of struct page, but, after this patch, it will
use field of struct page_ext. Because memory for page_ext is allocated
later than initialization of page allocator in CONFIG_SPARSEMEM, we should
disable debug-pagealloc feature temporarily until initialization of
page_ext. This patch implements this.

When we debug something, we'd like to insert some information to every
page. For this purpose, we sometimes modify struct page itself. But,
this has drawbacks. First, it requires re-compile. This makes us
hesitate to use the powerful debug feature so development process is
slowed down. And, second, sometimes it is impossible to rebuild the
kernel due to third party module dependency. At third, system behaviour
would be largely different after re-compile, because it changes size of
struct page greatly and this structure is accessed by every part of
kernel. Keeping this as it is would be better to reproduce errornous
situation.
This feature is intended to overcome above mentioned problems. This
feature allocates memory for extended data per page in certain place
rather than the struct page itself. This memory can be accessed by the
accessor functions provided by this code. During the boot process, it
checks whether allocation of huge chunk of memory is needed or not. If
not, it avoids allocating memory at all. With this advantage, we can
include this feature into the kernel in default and can avoid rebuild and
solve related problems.
Until now, memcg uses this technique. But, now, memcg decides to embed
their variable to struct page itself and it's code to extend struct page
has been removed. I'd like to use this code to develop debug feature, so
this patch resurrect it.
To help these things to work well, this patch introduces two callbacks for
clients. One is the need callback which is mandatory if user wants to
avoid useless memory allocation at boot-time. The other is optional, init
callback, which is used to do proper initialization after memory is
allocated. Detailed explanation about purpose of these functions is in
code comment. Please refer it.
Others are completely same with previous extension code in memcg.
