memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but
memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the
old range for reserved.regions.
Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this.
| I don't think we're saving any noticeable
| amount by doing this "free - give it to page allocator - reserve
| again" dancing. We should just allocate regions aligned to page
| boundaries and free them later when memblock is no longer in use.
in that case, when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, will get panic:
memblock_free: [0x0000102febc080-0x0000102febf080] memblock_free_reserved_regions+0x37/0x39

So try to allocate with PAGE_SIZE alignment and free it later.

After commit f5bf18fa22f8 ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint
in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed
outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if
there is space available in that section. This results in unnecessary
hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the
section holding the usemap.
The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear
search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a
much higher address absent an upper limit.
Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end,
then retry without if that fails. This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa22f8
of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but
still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.

alloc_bootmem_section() derives allocation area constraints from the
specified sparsemem section. This is a bit specific for a generic memory
allocator like bootmem, though, so move it over to sparsemem.
As __alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() already retries failed allocations with
relaxed area constraints, the fallback code in sparsemem.c can be removed
and the code becomes a bit more compact overall.

While the panicking node-specific allocation function tries to satisfy
node+goal, goal, node, anywhere, the non-panicking function still does
node+goal, goal, anywhere.
Make it simpler: define the panicking version in terms of the non-panicking
one, like the node-agnostic interface, so they always behave the same way
apart from how to deal with allocation failure.

Systems with 8 TBytes of memory or greater can hit a problem where only
the the first 8 TB of memory shows up. This is due to "int i" being
smaller than "unsigned long start_aligned", causing the high bits to be
dropped.
The fix is to change `i' to unsigned long to match start_aligned
and end_aligned.
Thanks to Jack Steiner for assistance tracking this down.

The comments above __alloc_bootmem_node() claim that the code will
first try the allocation using 'goal' and if that fails it will
try again but with the 'goal' requirement dropped.
Unfortunately, this is not what the code does, so fix it to do so.
This is important for nobootmem conversions to architectures such
as sparc where MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is infinity.
On such architectures all of the allocations done by generic spots,
such as the sparse-vmemmap implementation, will pass in:
__pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
as the goal, and with the limit given as "-1" this will always fail
unless we add the appropriate fallback logic here.

Other than sanity check and debug message, the x86 specific version of
memblock reserve/free functions are simple wrappers around the generic
versions - memblock_reserve/free().
This patch adds debug messages with caller identification to the
generic versions and replaces x86 specific ones and kills them.
arch/x86/include/asm/memblock.h and arch/x86/mm/memblock.c are empty
after this change and removed.

for_each_free_mem_range()
__get_free_all_memory_range() walks memblock, calculates free memory
areas and fills in the specified range. It can be easily replaced
with for_each_free_mem_range().
Convert free_low_memory_core_early() and
add_highpages_with_active_regions() to for_each_free_mem_range().
This leaves __get_free_all_memory_range() without any user. Kill it
and related functions.

nomemblock is currently used only by x86 and on x86_32
free_all_memory_core_early() silently freed only the low mem because
get_free_all_memory_range() in arch/x86/mm/memblock.c implicitly
limited range to max_low_pfn.
Rename free_all_memory_core_early() to free_low_memory_core_early()
and make it call __get_free_all_memory_range() and limit the range to
max_low_pfn explicitly. This makes things clearer and also is
consistent with the bootmem behavior.
This leaves get_free_all_memory_range() without any user. Kill it.

memblock calls
With the previous changes, generic NUMA aware memblock API has feature
parity with memblock_x86_find_in_range_node(). There currently are
two users - x86 setup_node_data() and __alloc_memory_core_early() in
nobootmem.c.
This patch converts the former to use memblock_alloc_nid() and the
latter memblock_find_range_in_node(), and kills
memblock_x86_find_in_range_node() and related functions including
find_memory_early_core_early() in page_alloc.c.

setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn
The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.
Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.
Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param(). This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param(). It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

mm/bootmem.c contained code paths for both bootmem and no bootmem
configurations. They implement about the same set of APIs in
different ways and as a result bootmem.c contains massive amount of
#ifdef CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.
Separate out CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM code into mm/nobootmem.c. As the
common part is relatively small, duplicate them in nobootmem.c instead
of creating a common file or ifdef'ing in bootmem.c.
The followings are duplicated.
* {min|max}_low_pfn, max_pfn, saved_max_pfn
* free_bootmem_late()
* ___alloc_bootmem()
* __alloc_bootmem_low()
The followings are applicable only to nobootmem and moved verbatim.
* __free_pages_memory()
* free_all_memory_core_early()
The followings are not applicable to nobootmem and omitted in
nobootmem.c.
* reserve_bootmem_node()
* reserve_bootmem()
The rest split function bodies according to CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.
Makefile is updated so that only either bootmem.c or nobootmem.c is
built according to CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.
