First attempt of making the MIPS subsystem utilizing the memblock early memory
allocator was done by me a few years ago. I created a patchset with
21 patches [1]. It turned out to be too complicated and I decided to resend a
reworked patchset with smaller number of changes [2]. I did this and after a
small review process a v2 patchset was also posted. Then my spare
time was over and I couldn't proceed with the patchset support and
resubmission.

In a year Mike Rapoport took charge in this task and posted a small
patch which essentially did the bootmem allocator removal from MIPS
subsystem [3]. A single small patch did in general the whole thing my huge
patchsetes were intended for in the first place (though it lacked a few fixes).
Mike even went further and completely removed the bootmem allocator from
kernel code, so all the subsystems would need to use the only one early
memory allocator. This significantly simplified the platforms code as well
as removed a deprecated subsystem with duplicated functionality. Million
credits to Mike for this.

Getting back to the MIPS subsystem and it memblock allocator usage. Even
though the patch suggested by Mike [3] fixed most of the problems caused
by enabling the memblock allocator usage, some of them have been left
uncovered by it. First of all the PFNs calculation algorithm hasn't been
fully refactored. A reserved memory declaration loop has been left
untouched though it was clearly over-complicated for the new initialization
procedure. Secondly the MIPS platform code reserved the whole space below
kernel start address, which doesn't seem right since kernel can be
located much higher than memory space really starts. Thirdly CMA if it
is enabled reserves memory regions by means of memblock in the first place.
So the bootmem-init code doesn't need to do it again. Fifthly at early
platform initialization stage non of bootmem-left methods can be called
since there is no memory pages mapping at that moment, so __nosave* region
must be reserved by means of memblock allocator. Finally aside from memblock
allocator introduction my early patchsets included a series of useful
alterations like "nomap" property implementation for "reserved-memory"
dts-nodes, memblock_dump_all() method call after early memory allocator
initialization for debugging, low-memory test procedure, kernel memory
mapping printout at boot-time, and so on. So all of these fixes and
alterations are introduced in this new patchset. Please review. Hope
this time I'll be more responsive and finish this series up until it
is merged.

NOTE I added a few "Reviewed-by:  Matt Redfearn <matt.redfearn@mips.com>"
since some patches of this series have been picked up from my earlier
patchsets, which Matt's already reviewed. I didn't add the tag for patches,
which were either new or partially ported.

Changelog v2
- Discard forcible selection of OF_RESERVED_MEM config
- Reword 'mips: Dump memblock regions for debugging' commit message since
  memblock debug printout is activated by memblock=debug kernel parameter
- Rebase onto mips-next
- Keep patches from 8 to 12 as the rest of them have already been merged

It is useful to have the whole memblock memory space printed to console
when basic memlock initializations are done. It can be performed by
ready-to-use method memblock_dump_all(), which prints the available
and reserved memory spaces if memblock=debug kernel parameter is
specified. Lets call it at the very end of arch_mem_init() function,
when all memblock memory and reserved regions are defined, but before
any serious allocation is performed.

memblock subsystem provides a method to optionally test the passed
memory region in case if it was requested via special kernel boot
argument. Lets add the function at the bottom of the arch_mem_init()
method. Testing at this point in the boot sequence should be safe since all
critical areas are now reserved and a minimum of allocations have been
done.

It is useful at least for debugging to have the kernel virtual
memory layout printed at boot time so to have the full information
about the booted kernel. Make the printing optional and available
only when DEBUG_KERNEL config is enabled so not to leak a sensitive
kernel information.

There are situations when memory regions coming from dts may be
too big for the platform physical address space. This especially
concerns XPA-capable systems. Bootloader may determine more than 4GB
memory available and pass it to the kernel over dts memory node, while
kernel is built without XPA/64BIT support. In this case the region
may either simply be truncated by add_memory_region() method
or by u64->phys_addr_t type casting. But in worst case the method
can even drop the memory region if it exceeds PHYS_ADDR_MAX size.
So lets make sure the retrieved from dts memory regions are valid,
and if some of them aren't, just manually truncate them with a warning
printed out.

Since memblock-patchset was introduced the reserved-memory nodes are
supported being declared in dt-files. So these nodes are actually parsed
during the arch setup procedure when the early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem()
method is called. But due to the arch-specific boot mem_map container
utilization we need to manually call the fdt_init_reserved_mem() method
after all the available and reserved memory has been moved to memblock.
The first function call performed before bootmem_init() by the
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() routine fails due to the lack of any
memblock memory regions to allocate from at that stage.

FYI the rest of the series is in mips-next, but I left this one out

Thanks for the report regarding this issue. I actually thought I tested the patch
being buildable for 64bit systems. It turns out I didn't.(

Should I resend the fixed patch as a separate v3 one In-Reply-to this v2 patch
or resubmit the patchset with cover-letter and only the fixed patch being there?

Cheers,
-Sergey

Easily done :)

Replying with just v3 of this patch will be fine, no need to resend the
cover letter.

I currently plan to submit a pull request for mips-next as-is, without
this patch, in the next day or two. There are a few last minute
submissions this time round that I'll then queue up & send a second pull
request next week, which this can be part of.

Thanks,
    Paul

It is useful at least for debugging to have the kernel virtual
memory layout printed at boot time so to have the full information
about the booted kernel. Make the printing optional and available
only when DEBUG_KERNEL config is enabled so not to leak a sensitive
kernel information.

Regarding this patch being part of the mips mm init code. I've just found out
that 32-bit arm subsystem maintainers removed the same functionality from the
kernel 5.1. This also was removed from arm64 in kernel 4.15:
commit 1c31d4e96b8c ("ARM: 8820/1: mm: Stop printing the virtual memory layout")
commit 071929dbdd86 ("arm64: Stop printing the virtual memory layout")

Maintainer of m68k and unicore32 discarded the printing as well:
commit 1476ea250cf0 ("unicore32: stop printing the virtual memory layout")
commit 31833332f798 ("m68k/mm: Stop printing the virtual memory layout")

The reasoning of these removal was that since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk:
hash addresses printed with %p") the kernel virtual addresses weren't
printed to the system log anyway. So instead of replacing the format string with
"%px" they decided not to leak a virtual memory layout information and completely
removed the printing. I don't really know why they didn't closed the printing for
debug kernel only as we did, since the info might be useful in this case.

Since I see a tendency of this functionality removal, we might need to
reconsider this patch integration into the MIPS arch code. What do you think?

Although some architectures still perform the virtual memory layout printing
at boot-time: x86_32, parisc, xtensa, sh, nds32 (might be others).

Cheers,
-Sergey
