The VM subsystem assumes that there are valid memmap entries from
the bank start aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.
On the Ux500 we have a lot of mem=N arguments on the commandline
triggering this bug several times over and causing kernel

When ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL is selected, pfn_valid calls
memblock_is_memory to test validity of a pfn:
> memblock_is_memory(pfn << PAGE_SHIFT);
On LPAE systems this cuts off the top bits, as the shift occurs before
the value is promoted to a phys_addr_t.
This patch replaces the shift with a call to __pfn_to_phys (which casts
pfn to phys_addr_t before shifting), preventing the loss of significant
bits.

poison_init_mem() used a loop of:

which has 2 problems - an off by one error so that we do one less word

and poison too much. On a platform with HAVE_TCM=y but nothing in the

In commit eb33575c ("[ARM] Double check memmap is actually valid with a
memmap has unexpected holes V2"), a new function, memmap_valid_within,
was introduced to mmzone.h so that holes in the memmap which pass
pfn_valid in SPARSEMEM configurations can be detected and avoided.
The fix to this problem checks that the pfn <-> page linkages are
correct by calculating the page for the pfn and then checking that
page_to_pfn on that page returns the original pfn. Unfortunately, in
SPARSEMEM configurations, this results in reading from the page flags to
determine the correct section. Since the memmap here has been freed,
junk is read from memory and the check is no longer robust.
In the best case, reading from /proc/pagetypeinfo will give you the
wrong answer. In the worst case, you get SEGVs, Kernel OOPses and hung
CPUs. Furthermore, ioremap implementations that use pfn_valid to
disallow the remapping of normal memory will break.
This patch allows architectures to provide their own pfn_valid function
instead of using the default implementation used by sparsemem. The
architecture-specific version is aware of the memmap state and will
return false when passed a pfn for a freed page within a valid section.

Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass
the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting
the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context. This patch
now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now
avoided.
This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around
__show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter.
ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone()
must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use
a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

If a dtb is passed to the kernel then the kernel needs to iterate
through compiled-in mdescs looking for one that matches and move the
dtb data to a safe location before it gets accidentally overwritten by
the kernel.
This patch creates a new function, setup_machine_fdt() which is
analogous to the setup_machine_atags() created in the previous patch.
It does all the early setup needed to use a device tree machine
description.
v5: - Print warning with neither dtb nor atags are passed to the kernel
- Fix bug in setting of __machine_arch_type to the selected machine,
not just the last machine in the list.
Reported-by: Tixy <tixy@yxit.co.uk>
- Copy command line directly into boot_command_line instead of cmd_line
v4: - Dump some output when a matching machine_desc cannot be found
v3: - Added processing of reserved list.
- Backed out the v2 change that copied instead of reserved the
dtb. dtb is reserved again and the real problem was fixed by
using alloc_bootmem_align() for early allocation of RAM for
unflattening the tree.
- Moved cmd_line and initrd changes to earlier patch to make series
bisectable.
v2: Changed to save the dtb by copying into an allocated buffer.
- Since the dtb will very likely be passed in the first 16k of ram
where the interrupt vectors live, memblock_reserve() is
insufficient to protect the dtb data.

The SPARSEMEM code allocates memmap entries only for sections which are
present (i.e. those which contain some valid memory). The membank checks
in free_unused_memmap do not take this into account and can incorrectly
attempt to free memory which is not allocated, resulting in a BUG() in
the bootmem code.
However, if memory is configured as follows:
|<----section---->|<----hole---->|<----section---->|
+--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+
| bank 0 | unused | | bank 1 | unused |
+--------+--------+--------------+--------+--------+
where a bank only occupies part of a section, the memmap allocated for
the remainder of the section *can* be freed.
This patch modifies the checks in free_unused_memmap so that only valid
memmap entries are considered for removal.

Commit ddd588b5dd ("oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from

resulted in build warnings on all architectures that implement their own
versions of show_mem():
lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem':
show_mem.c:(.text+0x1f4): multiple definition of `show_mem'
arch/sparc/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0xd70): first defined here
The fix is to remove __show_mem() and add its argument to show_mem() in
all implementations to prevent this breakage.
Architectures that implement their own show_mem() actually don't do
anything with the argument yet, but they could be made to filter nodes
that aren't allowed in the current context in the future just like the
generic implementation.

Disable the initrd if the passed address already overlaps the reserved

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.

This changes the TCM handling so that a fixed area is reserved at
0xfffe0000-0xfffeffff for TCM. This areas is used by XScale but
XScale does not have TCM so the mechanisms are mutually exclusive.
This change is needed to make TCM detection more dynamic while
still being able to compile code into it, and is a must for the
unified ARM goals: the current TCM allocation at different places
in memory for each machine would be a nightmare if you want to
compile a single image for more than one machine with TCM so it
has to be nailed down in one place.
