Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang cf93be18fa memory tier: create CPUless memory tiers after obtaining HMAT info
The current implementation treats emulated memory devices, such as CXL1.1
type3 memory, as normal DRAM when they are emulated as normal memory
(E820_TYPE_RAM).  However, these emulated devices have different
characteristics than traditional DRAM, making it important to distinguish
them.  Thus, we modify the tiered memory initialization process to
introduce a delay specifically for CPUless NUMA nodes.  This delay ensures
that the memory tier initialization for these nodes is deferred until HMAT
information is obtained during the boot process.  Finally, demotion tables
are recalculated at the end.

* late_initcall(memory_tier_late_init);
  Some device drivers may have initialized memory tiers between
  `memory_tier_init()` and `memory_tier_late_init()`, potentially bringing
  online memory nodes and configuring memory tiers.  They should be
  excluded in the late init.

* Handle cases where there is no HMAT when creating memory tiers
  There is a scenario where a CPUless node does not provide HMAT
  information.  If no HMAT is specified, it falls back to using the
  default DRAM tier.

* Introduce another new lock `default_dram_perf_lock` for adist
  calculation In the current implementation, iterating through CPUlist
  nodes requires holding the `memory_tier_lock`.  However,
  `mt_calc_adistance()` will end up trying to acquire the same lock,
  leading to a potential deadlock.  Therefore, we propose introducing a
  standalone `default_dram_perf_lock` to protect `default_dram_perf_*`. 
  This approach not only avoids deadlock but also prevents holding a large
  lock simultaneously.

* Upgrade `set_node_memory_tier` to support additional cases, including
  default DRAM, late CPUless, and hot-plugged initializations.  To cover
  hot-plugged memory nodes, `mt_calc_adistance()` and
  `mt_find_alloc_memory_type()` are moved into `set_node_memory_tier()` to
  handle cases where memtype is not initialized and where HMAT information
  is available.

* Introduce `default_memory_types` for those memory types that are not
  initialized by device drivers.  Because late initialized memory and
  default DRAM memory need to be managed, a default memory type is created
  for storing all memory types that are not initialized by device drivers
  and as a fallback.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
