Several architectures override module_alloc() only to define address
range for code allocations different than VMALLOC address space.
Provide a generic implementation in execmem that uses the parameters for
address space ranges, required alignment and page protections provided
by architectures.
The architectures must fill execmem_info structure and implement
execmem_arch_setup() that returns a pointer to that structure. This way the
execmem initialization won't be called from every architecture, but rather
from a central place, namely a core_initcall() in execmem.
The execmem provides execmem_alloc() API that wraps __vmalloc_node_range()
with the parameters defined by the architectures. If an architecture does
not implement execmem_arch_setup(), execmem_alloc() will fall back to
module_alloc().

Implements the "init_mlocked_on_free" boot option. When this boot option
is enabled, any mlock'ed pages are zeroed on free. If
the pages are munlock'ed beforehand, no initialization takes place.
This boot option is meant to combat the performance hit of
"init_on_free" as reported in commit 6471384af2 ("mm: security:
introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options"). With
"init_mlocked_on_free=1" only relevant data is freed while everything
else is left untouched by the kernel. Correspondingly, this patch
introduces no performance hit for unmapping non-mlock'ed memory. The
unmapping overhead for purely mlocked memory was measured to be
approximately 13%. Realistically, most systems mlock only a fraction of
the total memory so the real-world system overhead should be close to
zero.
Optimally, userspace programs clear any key material or other
confidential memory before exit and munlock the according memory
regions. If a program crashes, userspace key managers fail to do this
job. Accordingly, no munlock operations are performed so the data is
caught and zeroed by the kernel. Should the program not crash, all
memory will ideally be munlocked so no overhead is caused.
CONFIG_INIT_MLOCKED_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON can be set to enable
"init_mlocked_on_free" by default.

Because memory-less node's ->node_present_pages and its zone's
->present_pages are all 0, the judgement before calling node_set_state()
to set N_MEMORY, N_HIGH_MEMORY, N_NORMAL_MEMORY for node is enough to skip
memory-less node. The 'continue;' statement inside for_each_node() loop
of free_area_init() is gilding the lily.
Here, remove the special handling to make memory-less node share the same
code flow as normal node.
And also rephrase the code comments above the 'continue' statement
and move them above above line 'if (pgdat->node_present_pages)'.

Currently, in free_area_init_core(), when initialize zone's field, a rough
value is set to zone->managed_pages. That value is calculated by
(zone->present_pages - memmap_pages).
In the meantime, add the value to nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages which
represent all free pages of system (only low memory or including HIGHMEM
memory separately). Both of them are gonna be used in
alloc_large_system_hash().
However, the rough calculation and setting of zone->managed_pages is
meaningless because
a) memmap pages are allocated on units of node in sparse_init() or
alloc_node_mem_map(pgdat); The simple (zone->present_pages -
memmap_pages) is too rough to make sense for zone;
b) the set zone->managed_pages will be zeroed out and reset with
acutal value in mem_init() via memblock_free_all(). Before the
resetting, no buddy allocation request is issued.
Here, remove the meaningless and complicated calculation of
(zone->present_pages - memmap_pages), directly set zone->managed_pages as
zone->present_pages for now. It will be adjusted in mem_init().
And also remove the assignment of nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages in
free_area_init_core(). Instead, call the newly added
calc_nr_kernel_pages() to count up all free but not reserved memory in
memblock and assign to nr_all_pages and nr_kernel_pages. The counting
excludes memmap_pages, and other kernel used data, which is more accurate
than old way and simpler, and can also cover the ppc required
arch_reserved_kernel_pages() case.
And also clean up the outdated code comment above free_area_init_core().
And free_area_init_core() is easy to understand now, no need to add words
to explain.

issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.
To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

Besides of the already described reasons the pages backended memory holes
might be persistent due to having memory mapped IO spaces behind those
ranges in the framework of flatmem kernel config. Add such note to the
init_unavailable_range() method kdoc in order to point out to one more
reason of having the function executed for such regions.

The new boot flow when it comes to initialization of gigantic pages is as
follows:
- At boot time, for a gigantic page during __alloc_bootmem_hugepage, the
region after the first struct page is marked as noinit.
- This results in only the first struct page to be initialized in
reserve_bootmem_region. As the tail struct pages are not initialized at
this point, there can be a significant saving in boot time if HVO
succeeds later on.
- Later on in the boot, the head page is prepped and the first
HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_RESERVE_SIZE / sizeof(struct page) - 1 tail struct pages
are initialized.
- HVO is attempted. If it is not successful, then the rest of the tail
struct pages are initialized. If it is successful, no more tail struct
pages need to be initialized saving significant boot time.
The WARN_ON for increased ref count in gather_bootmem_prealloc was changed
to a VM_BUG_ON. This is OK as there should be no speculative references
this early in boot process. The VM_BUG_ON's are there just in case such
code is introduced.

For system with kernelcore=mirror enabled while no mirrored memory is
reported by efi. This could lead to kernel OOM during startup since all
memory beside zone DMA are in the movable zone and this prevents the
kernel to use it.
Zone DMA/DMA32 initialization is independent of mirrored memory and their
max pfn is set in zone_sizes_init(). Since kernel can fallback to zone
DMA/DMA32 if there is no memory in zone Normal, these zones are seen as
mirrored memory no mather their memory attributes are.
To solve this problem, disable kernelcore=mirror when there is no real
mirrored memory exists.

early_pfn_to_nid() is called frequently in init_reserved_page(), it
returns the node id of the PFN. These PFN are probably from the same
memory region, they have the same node id. It's not necessary to call
early_pfn_to_nid() for each PFN.
Pass nid to reserve_bootmem_region() and drop the call to
early_pfn_to_nid() in init_reserved_page(). Also, set nid on all reserved
pages before doing this, as some reserved memory regions may not be set
nid.
The most beneficial function is memmap_init_reserved_pages() if
CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled.

UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory
acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD
SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the
guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine
platform.
There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory:
1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it
doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is
very long boot time.
Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable
(i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate
memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point.
2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more
infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but
it provides good boot time.
On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps
onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data
set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted.
3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple)
that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the
system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping
low boot time.
This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2:
background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the
page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that.
The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU
cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt
user experience.
Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want
to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be
implemented later based on user's demands.
Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code:
- memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory
allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory.
- page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page.
When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the
high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation.
EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted
memory:
- accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted.
- range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range
of physical addresses requires acceptance.

clang produces a build failure on x86 for some randconfig builds after a
change that moves around code to mm/mm_init.c:
Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
mm/mm_init.o: failed
I have not been able to figure out why this happens, but the __weak
annotation on arch_has_descending_max_zone_pfns() is the trigger here.
Removing the weak function in favor of an open-coded Kconfig option check
avoids the problem and becomes clearer as well as better to optimize by
the compiler.

Normal page init path frees pages during the boot in MAX_ORDER chunks, but
deferred page init path does it in pageblock blocks.
Change deferred page init path to work in MAX_ORDER blocks.
For cases when MAX_ORDER is larger than pageblock, set migrate type to
MIGRATE_MOVABLE for all pageblocks covered by the page.

When deferred initialization of struct pages is enabled, page_ext_init()
must be called after all the deferred initialization is done, but there is
no point to keep it a separate call from kernel_init_freeable() right
after page_alloc_init_late().
Fold the call to page_ext_init() into page_alloc_init_late() and localize
deferred_struct_pages variable.
