[ Upstream commit d7f55471db2719629f773c2d6b5742a69595bfd3 ]

Fix modpost Section mismatch error in memblock_phys_alloc()

[...]
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x1dcc): Section mismatch in reference
from the function memblock_phys_alloc() to the function .init.text:memblock_phys_alloc_range()
The function memblock_phys_alloc() references
the function __init memblock_phys_alloc_range().
This is often because memblock_phys_alloc lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of memblock_phys_alloc_range is wrong.

ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected.
Set CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y to allow them.
[...]

memblock_phys_alloc() is a one-line wrapper, make it __always_inline to
avoid these section mismatches.

<title>memblock: introduce saner 'memblock_free_ptr()' interface</title>

<id>urn:sha1:77e02cf57b6cff9919949defb7fd9b8ac16399a2</id>
<content type='text'>
The boot-time allocation interface for memblock is a mess, with
'memblock_alloc()' returning a virtual pointer, but then you are
supposed to free it with 'memblock_free()' that takes a _physical_
address.

Not only is that all kinds of strange and illogical, but it actually
causes bugs, when people then use it like a normal allocation function,
and it fails spectacularly on a NULL pointer:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210912140820.GD25450@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/

or just random memory corruption if the debug checks don't catch it:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/61ab2d0c-3313-aaab-514c-e15b7aa054a0@suse.cz/

I really don't want to apply patches that treat the symptoms, when the
fundamental cause is this horribly confusing interface.

I started out looking at just automating a sane replacement sequence,
but because of this mix or virtual and physical addresses, and because
people have used the "__pa()" macro that can take either a regular
kernel pointer, or just the raw "unsigned long" address, it's all quite
messy.

So this just introduces a new saner interface for freeing a virtual
address that was allocated using 'memblock_alloc()', and that was kept
as a regular kernel pointer.  And then it converts a couple of users
that are obvious and easy to test, including the 'xbc_nodes' case in
lib/bootconfig.c that caused problems.

<title>memblock: make memblock_find_in_range method private</title>

<content type='text'>
There are a lot of uses of memblock_find_in_range() along with
memblock_reserve() from the times memblock allocation APIs did not exist.

memblock_find_in_range() is the very core of memblock allocations, so any
future changes to its internal behaviour would mandate updates of all the
users outside memblock.

Replace the calls to memblock_find_in_range() with an equivalent calls to
memblock_phys_alloc() and memblock_phys_alloc_range() and make
memblock_find_in_range() private method of memblock.

This simplifies the callers, ensures that (unlikely) errors in
memblock_reserve() are handled and improves maintainability of
memblock_find_in_range().

Commit b10d6bca8720 ("arch, drivers: replace for_each_membock() with
for_each_mem_range()") didn't take into account that when there is
movable_node parameter in the kernel command line, for_each_mem_range()
would skip ranges marked with MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG.

The page table setup code in POWER uses for_each_mem_range() to create
the linear mapping of the physical memory and since the regions marked
as MEMORY_HOTPLUG are skipped, they never make it to the linear map.

A later access to the memory in those ranges will fail:

<title>memblock: update initialization of reserved pages</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9092d4f7a1f846bcc72e9aace4ed64ed3fc4aa32</id>
<content type='text'>
The struct pages representing a reserved memory region are initialized
using reserve_bootmem_range() function.  This function is called for each
reserved region just before the memory is freed from memblock to the buddy
page allocator.

The struct pages for MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions are kept with the default
values set by the memory map initialization which makes it necessary to
have a special treatment for such pages in pfn_valid() and
pfn_valid_within().

Split out initialization of the reserved pages to a function with a
meaningful name and treat the MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions the same way as the
reserved regions and mark struct pages for the NOMAP regions as
PageReserved.

After removal of DISCINTIGMEM the NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and NUMA
configuration options are equivalent.

Drop CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and use CONFIG_NUMA instead.

Done with

	$ sed -i 's/CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/CONFIG_NUMA/' \
		$(git grep -wl CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)
	$ sed -i 's/NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES/NUMA/' \
		$(git grep -wl NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES)

with manual tweaks afterwards.

Commit 34dc2efb39a2 ("memblock: fix section mismatch warning") marked
memblock_bottom_up() and memblock_set_bottom_up() as __init, but they
could be referenced from non-init functions like
memblock_find_in_range_node() on architectures that enable
CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.

For such builds kernel test robot reports:

   WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x74fea4): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_find_in_range_node() to the function .init.text:memblock_bottom_up()
   The function memblock_find_in_range_node() references the function __init memblock_bottom_up().
   This is often because memblock_find_in_range_node lacks a __init  annotation or the annotation of memblock_bottom_up is wrong.

Replace __init annotations with __init_memblock annotations so that the
appropriate section will be selected depending on
CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.

<content type='text'>
The inlining logic in clang-13 is rewritten to often not inline some
functions that were inlined by all earlier compilers.

In case of the memblock interfaces, this exposed a harmless bug of a
missing __init annotation:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x507c0a): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_bottom_up() to the variable .meminit.data:memblock
The function memblock_bottom_up() references
the variable __meminitdata memblock.
This is often because memblock_bottom_up lacks a __meminitdata
annotation or the annotation of memblock is wrong.

Interestingly, these annotations were present originally, but got removed
with the explanation that the __init annotation prevents the function from
getting inlined.  I checked this again and found that while this is the
case with clang, gcc (version 7 through 10, did not test others) does
inline the functions regardless.

As the previous change was apparently intended to help the clang builds,
reverting it to help the newer clang versions seems appropriate as well.
gcc builds don't seem to care either way.

  memblock_free_all() returns the total count of freed pages and its
