e820__mapped_any()/e820__mapped_all()
The 'any' and 'all' are modified to the 'mapped' concept, so move them last in the name.
No change in functionality.

sanitize_e820_table() is a minor misnomer in that it suggests that
the E820 table requires sanitizing - which implies that it will only
do anything if the E820 table is irregular (not sane).
That is wrong, because sanitize_e820_table() also does a very regular
sorting of the E820 table, which is a necessity in the basic
append-only flow of E820 updates the kernel is allowed to perform to
it.
So rename it to e820__update_table() to include that purpose as well.
This also lines up all the table-update functions into a coherent
naming family:
int e820__update_table(struct e820_entry *biosmap, int max_nr_map, u32 *pnr_map);
void e820__update_table_print(void);
void e820__update_table_firmware(void);
No change in functionality.

update_e820() should have 'e820' as a prefix as most of the other E820
functions have - but it's also a bit unclear about its purpose, as
it's unclear what is updated - the whole table, or an entry?
Also, the name does not express that it's a trivial wrapper
around sanitize_e820_table() that also prints out the resulting
table.
So rename it to e820__update_table_print(). This also makes it
harmonize with the e820__update_table_firmware() function which
has a very similar purpose.
No change in functionality.

document it
early_reserve_e820() is an early hack for kexec that does a limited fixup of the
mptable and passes it to the kexec kernel as if it was the real thing.
For this it needs to allocate memory - but no memory allocator is available yet
beyond the memblock allocator, so early_reserve_e820() is really a wrapper
around memblock_alloc() plus a hack to update the e820_table_firmware entries.
The name 'reserve' is really a bit of a misnomer, as 'reserved' memory typically
means memory completely inaccessible to the kernel - while here what we want to do
is a special RAM allocation for our own purposes and insert that as RAM_RESERVED.
Rename the function to e820__memblock_alloc_reserved() to better signal this dual
purpose, plus document it better, which was omitted when it was merged. The barely
comprehensible and cryptic comment:
/*
* pre allocated 4k and reserved it in memblock and e820_table_firmware
*/
u64 __init e820__memblock_alloc_reserved(u64 size, u64 align)
... does not count as documentation, replace it with:
/*
* Allocate the requested number of bytes with the requsted alignment
* and return (the physical address) to the caller. Also register this
* range in the 'firmware' E820 table.
*
* This allows kexec to fake a new mptable, as if it came from the real
* system.
*/

e820__finish_early_params()
finish_e820_parsing() is closely related to parse_early_params(), but the
name does not tell us this clearly, so rename it to e820__finish_early_params().

parse_e820_ext() is very similar to e820__memory_setup_default(), both are
taking bootloader provided data, add it to the E820 table and then
pass it sanitize_e820_table().

to memblock_set_dma_reserve()
We introduced memblock_find_dma_reserve() in this commit:
6f2a75369e75 x86, memblock: Use memblock_memory_size()/memblock_free_memory_size() to get correct dma_reserve
But there's several problems with it:
- The changelog is full of typos and is incomprehensible in general, and
the comments in the code are not much better either.
- The function was inexplicably placed into e820.c, while it has very
little connection to the E820 table: when we call
memblock_find_dma_reserve() then memblock is already set up and we
are not using the E820 table anymore.
- The function is a wrapper around set_dma_reserve(), but changed the 'set'
name to 'find' - actively misleading about its primary purpose, which is
still to set the DMA-reserve value.
- The function is limited to 64-bit systems, but neither the changelog nor
the comments explain why. The change would appear to be relevant to
32-bit systems as well, as the ISA DMA zone is the first 16 MB of RAM.
So address some of these problems:
- Move it into arch/x86/mm/init.c, next to the other zone setup related
functions.
- Clean up the code flow and names of local variables a bit.
- Rename it to memblock_set_dma_reserve()
- Improve the comments.
No change in functionality. Enabling it for 32-bit systems is left
for a separate patch.

So the E820 code has a lot of cases of:
struct e820_entry *ei;
... but the 'ei' name makes very little sense if you think about it, it's
not an abbreviation of anything obviously related to E820 table entries.
This results in weird looking lines such as:
if (type && ei->type != type)
where you might have to double check what 'ei' really means, plus
weird looking secondary variable names, such as:
u64 ei_end;
The 'ei' name was introduced in a single function over a decade ago, and
then mindlessly cargo-copied over into other functions - with usage growing
to over 60 uses altogether (!).
( My best guess is that it might have been originally meant as abbreviation
of 'entry interval'. )
Anyway, rename these to the much more obvious:
struct e820_entry *entry;

improve the explanations
So memblock_x86_fill() is another E820 code misnomer:
- nothing in its name tells us that it's part of the E820 subsystem ...
- The 'fill' wording is ambiguous and doesn't tell us whether it's a single
entry or some process - while the _real_ purpose of the function is hidden,
which is to do a complete setup of the (platform independent) memblock regions.
So rename it accordingly, to e820__memblock_setup().
Also translate this incomprehensible and misleading comment:
/*
* EFI may have more than 128 entries
* We are safe to enable resizing, beause memblock_x86_fill()
* is rather later for x86
*/
memblock_allow_resize();
The worst aspect of this comment isn't even the sloppy typos, but that it
casually mentions a '128' number with no explanation, which makes one lead
to the assumption that this is related to the well-known limit of a maximum
of 128 E820 entries passed via legacy bootloaders.
But no, the _real_ meaning of 128 here is that of the memblock subsystem,
which too happens to have a 128 entries limit for very early memblock
regions (which is unrelated to E820), via INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS ...
So change the comment to a more comprehensible version:
/*
* The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries
* (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries
* than that - so allow memblock resizing.
*
* This is safe, because this call happens pretty late during x86 setup,
* so we know about reserved memory regions already. (This is important
* so that memblock resizing does no stomp over reserved areas.)
*/

Over the last decade or so e820.c has become an ureadable mess of
tinkerware. Perform some very basic cleanups before doing more
intricate cleanups, so that my eyes don't start bleeding when I look at it.
Here's some of the excesses:
- Total disregard of countless aspects of Documentation/CodingStyle.
- Totally inconsistent hodge-podge of various coding styles and practices.
- Gems like:
(unsigned long long) e820_table->entries[i].addr
... which is a completely unnecessary type conversion of an u64 value.
- Incomprehensible comments while there are major functions with absolutely
no explanation - plus an armada of typos and grammar mistakes.
- Mindless checkpatch artifacts such as:
if (append_e820_table(boot_params.e820_table, boot_params.e820_entries)
< 0) {
for_each_free_mem_range(u, NUMA_NO_NODE, MEMBLOCK_NONE, &start, &end,
NULL) {
- Actively misleading comments:
/* In case someone cares... */
return who;
( The usage site of the return value just a few lines further down makes it
clear that we very much care about the return value, we use it to print
out the e820 map... )
- Colorfully inconsistent capitalization and punctuation throughout.
- etc.
This patch fixes only the worst excesses - there's more to fix.

the description
So the 'e820_table_saved' is a bit of a misnomer that hides its real purpose.
At first sight the name suggests that it's some sort save/restore mechanism,
as this is how we typically name such facilities in the kernel.
But that is not so, e820_table_saved is the original firmware version of the
e820 table, not modified by the kernel. This table is displayed in the
/sys/firmware/memmap file, and it's also used by the hibernation code to
calculate a physical memory layout MD5 fingerprint checksum which is
invariant of the kernel.
So rename it to 'e820_table_firmware' and update all the comments to better
describe the main e820 data strutures.
Also rename:
'initial_e820_table_saved' => 'e820_table_firmware_init'
'e820_update_range_saved' => 'e820_update_range_firmware'
... to better match the new nomenclature.

e820__memory_setup_default()
The default_machine_specific_memory_setup() is a mouthful and despite the
many words it doesn't actually tell us clearly what it does.
The function is the x86 legacy memory layout setup code, based on
E820-formatted memory layout information passed by the bootloader
via the boot_params.
Rename it to e820__memory_setup_default() to better signal its purpose.
Also rename the related higher level function to be consistent with

So the e820_table->map and e820_table->nr_map names are a bit
confusing, because it's not clear what a 'map' really means
(it could be a bitmap, or some other data structure), nor is
it clear what nr_map means (is it a current index, or some
other count).
Rename the fields from:
e820_table->map => e820_table->entries
e820_table->nr_map => e820_table->nr_entries
which makes it abundantly clear that these are entries
of the table, and that the size of the table is ->nr_entries.
Propagate the changes to all affected files. Where necessary,
adjust local variable names to better reflect the new field names.

In line with the rename to 'struct e820_array', harmonize the naming of common e820
table variable names as well:
e820 => e820_array
e820_saved => e820_array_saved
e820_map => e820_array
initial_e820 => e820_array_init

The e820_mark_nosave_regions definition has a number of ugly #ifdef
conditions that unnecessarily uglify both the header and the
e820.c file.
Make this function unconditional: most distro kernels have hibernation
enabled. If LTO functionality is added in the future it will be able
to eliminate unused functions without uglifying the source code.

'struct e820_array'
The 'e820entry' and 'e820map' names have various annoyances:
- the missing underscore departs from the usual kernel style
and makes the code look weird,
- in the past I kept confusing the 'map' with the 'entry', because
a 'map' is ambiguous in that regard,
- it's not really clear from the 'e820map' that this is a regular
C array.
Rename them to 'struct e820_entry' and 'struct e820_array' accordingly.
( Leave the legacy UAPI header alone but do the rename in the bootparam.h
and e820/types.h file - outside tools relying on these defines should
either adjust their code, or should use the legacy header, or should
create their private copies for the definitions. )
No change in functionality.

In line with asm/e820/types.h, move the e820 API declarations to
asm/e820/api.h and update all usage sites.
This is just a mechanical, obviously correct move & replace patch,
there will be subsequent changes to clean up the code and to make
better use of the new header organization.

GCC correctly points out that on 32-bit kernels, e820_search_gap()
not finding a start now leads to pci_mem_start ('gapstart') being set to an
uninitialized value:

arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:641:16: error: 'gapstart' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

e820_search_gap() is just used locally now and the 'start_addr' and 'end_addr'
parameters are fixed values. Also, 'gapstart' is not checked in this function
anymore.
So make the function static and remove those unused variables.

Commit:
917db484dc6a ("x86/boot: Fix kdump, cleanup aborted E820_PRAM max_pfn manipulation")
... fixed up the broken manipulations of max_pfn in the presence of
E820_PRAM ranges.
However, it also broke the sanitize_e820_map() support for not merging
E820_PRAM ranges.
Re-introduce the enabling to keep resource boundaries between
consecutive defined ranges. Otherwise, for example, an environment that
boots with memmap=2G!8G,2G!10G will end up with a single 4G /dev/pmem0
device instead of a /dev/pmem0 and /dev/pmem1 device 2G in size.

In commit:
ec776ef6bbe1 ("x86/mm: Add support for the non-standard protected e820 type")
Christoph references the original patch I wrote implementing pmem support.
The intent of the 'max_pfn' changes in that commit were to enable persistent
memory ranges to be covered by the struct page memmap by default.
However, that approach was abandoned when Christoph ported the patches [1], and
that functionality has since been replaced by devm_memremap_pages().
In the meantime, this max_pfn manipulation is confusing kdump [2] that
assumes that everything covered by the max_pfn is "System RAM". This
results in kdump hanging or crashing.

The maximum size of e820 map array for EFI systems is defined as
E820_X_MAX (E820MAX + 3 * MAX_NUMNODES).
In x86_64 defconfig, this ends up with E820_X_MAX = 320, e820 and e820_saved
are 6404 bytes each.
With larger configs, for example Fedora kernels, E820_X_MAX = 3200, e820
and e820_saved are 64004 bytes each. Most of this space is wasted.
Typical machines have some 20-30 e820 areas at most.
After previous patch, e820 and e820_saved are pointers to e280 maps.
Change them to initially point to maps which are __initdata.
At the very end of kernel init, just before __init[data] sections are freed
in free_initmem(), allocate smaller blocks, copy maps there,
and change pointers.
The late switch makes sure that all functions which can be used to change
e820 maps are no longer accessible (they are all __init functions).
Run-tested.

The (start, size) tuple represents a range [start, start + size - 1],
which means "start" and "start + size - 1" should be compared to see
whether the range overflows.
For example, a range with (start, size):
(0xffffffff fffffff0, 0x00000000 00000010)
represents
[0xffffffff fffffff0, 0xffffffff ffffffff]
... would be judged overflow in the original code, while actually it is not.
This patch fixes this and makes sure it still works when size is zero.

Move them to a separate header and have the following

Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
"The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface table).
After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.
In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.
Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).
The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

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

Mark it "reserved" and allow it to be claimed by a persistent memory
device driver.
This definition is in addition to the Linux kernel's existing type-12
definition that was recently added in support of shipping platforms with
NVDIMM support that predate ACPI 6.0 (which now classifies type-12 as
OEM reserved).
Note, /proc/iomem can be consulted for differentiating legacy

Pull PMEM driver from Ingo Molnar:
"This is the initial support for the pmem block device driver:
persistent non-volatile memory space mapped into the system's physical
memory space as large physical memory regions.
The driver is based on Intel code, written by Ross Zwisler, with fixes
by Boaz Harrosh, integrated with x86 e820 memory resource management
and tidied up by Christoph Hellwig.
Note that there were two other separate pmem driver submissions to
lkml: but apparently all parties (Ross Zwisler, Boaz Harrosh) are
reasonably happy with this initial version.
This version enables minimal support that enables persistent memory
devices out in the wild to work as block devices, identified through a
magic (non-standard) e820 flag and auto-discovered if
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY=y, or added explicitly through manipulating the
memory maps via the "memmap=..." boot option with the new, special '!'
modifier character.
Limitations: this is a regular block device, and since the pmem areas
are not struct page backed, they are invisible to the rest of the
system (other than the block IO device), so direct IO to/from pmem
areas, direct mmap() or XIP is not possible yet. The page cache will
also shadow and double buffer pmem contents, etc.
Initial support is for x86"

The argument 3 of sanitize_e820_map() will only be updated upon a
successful sanitization. Some of the callers have extra conditionals
for the same purpose. Clean them up.
default_machine_specific_memory_setup() must keep the extra
conditional because boot_params.e820_entries is an u8 and not an u32,

The type of "MAX_DMA_PFN" and "xXx_pfn" are both unsigned long
now, so use min() instead of min_t().

In arch/x86/kernel/setup.c::trim_bios_range(), the codes
introduced by 1b5576e6 (base on d8a9e6a5), it updates the first
4Kb of memory to be E820_RESERVED region. That's because it's a
BIOS owned area but generally not listed in the E820 table:
e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000096fff] usable
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000097000-0x0000000000097fff] reserved
...
e820: update [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff] usable ==> reserved
e820: remove [mem 0x000a0000-0x000fffff] usable
But the region of first 4Kb didn't register to nosave memory:
PM: Registered nosave memory: [mem 0x00097000-0x00097fff]
PM: Registered nosave memory: [mem 0x000a0000-0x000fffff]
The code in e820_mark_nosave_regions() assumes the first e820
area to be RAM, so it causes the first 4Kb E820_RESERVED region
ignored when register to nosave. This patch removed assumption
of the first e820 area.

Update X86 code to use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of MAX_NUMNODES while
calling memblock APIs, because memblock API will be changed to use
NUMA_NO_NODE and will produce warning during boot otherwise.

Type SETUP_PCI, added by setup_efi_pci(), may advertise a ROM size
larger than early_memremap() is able to handle, which is currently
limited to 256kB. If this occurs it leads to a NULL dereference in
parse_setup_data().
To avoid this, remap the setup_data header and allow parsing functions
for individual types to handle their own data remapping.

Current "memmap=" only can take one entry every time.
when we have more entries, we have to use memmap= for each of them.
For pxe booting, we have command line length limitation, those extra
"memmap=" would waste too much space.
This patch make memmap= could take several entries one time,
and those entries will be split with ','

We will not map partial pages, so need to make sure memblock
allocation will not allocate those bytes out.
Also we will use for_each_mem_pfn_range() to loop to map memory
range to keep them consistent.

firmware_map_add_hotplug()
There are two ways to create /sys/firmware/memmap/X sysfs:
- firmware_map_add_early
When the system starts, it is calledd from e820_reserve_resources()
- firmware_map_add_hotplug
When the memory is hot plugged, it is called from add_memory()
But these functions are called without unifying value of end argument as
below:
- end argument of firmware_map_add_early() : start + size - 1
- end argument of firmware_map_add_hogplug() : start + size
The patch unifies them to "start + size". Even if applying the patch,
/sys/firmware/memmap/X/end file content does not change.

elsewhere in the kernel. For example:
-BIOS-provided physical RAM map:

This includes initial support for the recently published ACPI 5.0 spec.
In particular, support for the "hardware-reduced" bit that eliminates
the dependency on legacy hardware.
APEI has patches resulting from testing on real hardware.
Plus other random fixes.
* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux: (52 commits)
acpi/apei/einj: Add extensions to EINJ from rev 5.0 of acpi spec
intel_idle: Split up and provide per CPU initialization func
ACPI processor: Remove unneeded variable passed by acpi_processor_hotadd_init V2
ACPI processor: Remove unneeded cpuidle_unregister_driver call

ACPI: processor: fix acpi_get_cpuid for UP processor
intel_idle: fix API misuse
ACPI APEI: Convert atomicio routines
ACPI: Export interfaces for ioremapping/iounmapping ACPI registers
ACPI: Fix possible alignment issues with GAS 'address' references
ACPI, ia64: Use SRAT table rev to use 8bit or 16/32bit PXM fields (ia64)
ACPI, x86: Use SRAT table rev to use 8bit or 32bit PXM fields (x86/x86-64)
ACPI: Store SRAT table revision
ACPI, APEI, Resolve false conflict between ACPI NVS and APEI
ACPI, Record ACPI NVS regions
ACPI, APEI, EINJ, Refine the fix of resource conflict
...

Some firmware will access memory in ACPI NVS region via APEI. That
is, instructions in APEI ERST/EINJ table will read/write ACPI NVS
region. The original resource conflict checking in APEI code will
check memory/ioport accessed by APEI via general resource management
mechanism. But ACPI NVS region is marked as busy already, so that the
false resource conflict will prevent APEI ERST/EINJ to work.
To fix this, this patch record ACPI NVS regions, so that we can avoid
request resources for memory region inside it.
