We are not having max_pfn_mapped set correctly until init_memory_mapping.
So don't print its initial value for 64bit
Also need to use KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE directly for highmap cleanup.
-v2: update comments about max_pfn_mapped according to Stefano Stabellini.

Linear mode (CR0.PG = 0) is mutually exclusive with 64-bit mode; all
64-bit code has to use page tables. This makes it awkward before we
have first set up properly all-covering page tables to access objects
that are outside the static kernel range.
So far we have dealt with that simply by mapping a fixed amount of
low memory, but that fails in at least two upcoming use cases:
1. We will support load and run kernel, struct boot_params, ramdisk,
command line, etc. above the 4 GiB mark.
2. need to access ramdisk early to get microcode to update that as
early possible.
We could use early_iomap to access them too, but it will make code to
messy and hard to be unified with 32 bit.
Hence, set up a #PF table and use a fixed number of buffers to set up
page tables on demand. If the buffers fill up then we simply flush
them and start over. These buffers are all in __initdata, so it does
not increase RAM usage at runtime.
Thus, with the help of the #PF handler, we can set the final kernel
mapping from blank, and switch to init_level4_pgt later.
During the switchover in head_64.S, before #PF handler is available,
we use three pages to handle kernel crossing 1G, 512G boundaries with
sharing page by playing games with page aliasing: the same page is
mapped twice in the higher-level tables with appropriate wraparound.
The kernel region itself will be properly mapped; other mappings may
be spurious.
early_make_pgtable is using kernel high mapping address to access pages
to set page table.
-v4: Add phys_base offset to make kexec happy, and add
init_mapping_kernel() - Yinghai
-v5: fix compiling with xen, and add back ident level3 and level2 for xen
also move back init_level4_pgt from BSS to DATA again.
because we have to clear it anyway. - Yinghai
-v6: switch to init_level4_pgt in init_mem_mapping. - Yinghai
-v7: remove not needed clear_page for init_level4_page
it is with fill 512,8,0 already in head_64.S - Yinghai
-v8: we need to keep that handler alive until init_mem_mapping and don't
let early_trap_init to trash that early #PF handler.
So split early_trap_pf_init out and move it down. - Yinghai
-v9: switchover only cover kernel space instead of 1G so could avoid
touch possible mem holes. - Yinghai
-v11: change far jmp back to far return to initial_code, that is needed
to fix failure that is reported by Konrad on AMD systems. - Yinghai

It is simple version for kernel_physical_mapping_init.
it will work to build one page table that will be used later.
Use mapping_info to control
1. alloc_pg_page method
2. if PMD is EXEC,
3. if pgd is with kernel low mapping or ident mapping.
Will use to replace some local versions in kexec, hibernation and etc.

Just like the way we calculate next for pud and pmd, aka round down and
add size.
Also, do not do boundary-checking with 'next', and just pass 'end' down
to phys_pud_init() instead. Because the loop in phys_pud_init() stops at
PTRS_PER_PUD and thus can handle a possibly bigger 'end' properly.

During debugging loading kernel above 4G, found that one page is not used
in pre-allocated BRK area for early page allocation.
pgt_buf_top is address that can not be used, so should check if that new
end is above that top, otherwise last page will not be used.
Fix that checking and also add print out for allocation from pre-allocated
BRK area to catch possible bugs later.
But after we get back that page for pgt, it tiggers one bug in pgt allocation
with xen: We need to avoid to use page as pgt to map range that is
overlapping with that pgt page.
Add checking about overlapping, when it happens, use memblock allocation
instead. That fixes crash on Xen PV guest with 2G that Stefan found.

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
"There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
(balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
autonuma which is in aa.git.
In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because
its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about
scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be
desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building
scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9.
The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are
mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108
mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331
tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437
srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397
The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does
reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against
mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is
incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad
but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas'
results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of
numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a
large machine with imbalanced node sizes.
My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved
dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally.
We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of
migration even when it shows that overall performance is better.
There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for
specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of
warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by
the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I
reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with
NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of
this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch
handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible
numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration.
These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start
with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has
not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks."

185034e72d59: "x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls")
as they all depend semantically on commit 53b87cf088e2 ("x86, mm:

reverted earlier due to the problems it caused.

This reverts commit 53b87cf088e2ea68d7c59619d0214cc15bb76133.
It causes odd bootup problems on x86-64. Markus Trippelsdorf gets a
repeatable oops, and I see a non-repeatable oops (or constant stream of
messages that scroll off too quickly to read) that seems to go away with
this commit reverted.
So we don't know exactly what is wrong with the commit, but it's
definitely problematic, and worth reverting sooner rather than later.

Merge misc VM changes from Andrew Morton:
"The rest of most-of-MM. The other MM bits await a slab merge.
This patch includes the addition of a huge zero_page. Not a
performance boost but it an save large amounts of physical memory in
some situations.
Also a bunch of Fujitsu engineers are working on memory hotplug.
Which, as it turns out, was badly broken. About half of their patches
are included here; the remainder are 3.8 material."
However, this merge disables CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE, which was totally
broken. We don't add new features with "default y", nor do we add
Kconfig questions that are incomprehensible to most people without any
help text. Does the feature even make sense without compaction or
memory hotplug?

Intel has an architectural guarantee that the TLB entry causing
a page fault gets invalidated automatically. This means
we should be able to drop the local TLB invalidation.
Because of the way other areas of the page fault code work,
chances are good that all x86 CPUs do this. However, if
someone somewhere has an x86 CPU that does not invalidate
the TLB entry causing a page fault, this one-liner should
be easy to revert.

The function ptep_set_access_flags() is only ever invoked to set access
flags or add write permission on a PTE. The write bit is only ever set
together with the dirty bit.
Because we only ever upgrade a PTE, it is safe to skip flushing entries on
remote TLBs. The worst that can happen is a spurious page fault on other
CPUs, which would flush that TLB entry.
Lazily letting another CPU incur a spurious page fault occasionally is
(much!) cheaper than aggressively flushing everybody else's TLB.

Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.
This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.
We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

Now NO_BOOTMEM version free_all_bootmem_node() does not really
do free_bootmem at all, and it only call register_page_bootmem_info_node
instead.
That is confusing, try to kill that free_all_bootmem_node().
Before that, this patch will remove numa_free_all_bootmem().
That function could be replaced with register_page_bootmem_info() and
free_all_bootmem();

after_bootmem has different meaning in 32bit and 64bit.
32bit: after bootmem is ready
64bit: after bootmem is distroyed
Let's merget them make 32bit the same as 64bit.
for 32bit, it is mixing alloc_bootmem_pages, and alloc_low_page under
after_bootmem is set or not set.
alloc_bootmem is just wrapper for memblock for x86.
Now we have alloc_low_page() with memblock too. We can drop bootmem path
now, and only alloc_low_page only.
At the same time, we make alloc_low_page could handle real after_bootmem
for 32bit, because alloc_bootmem_pages could fallback to use slab too.
At last move after_bootmem set position for 32bit the same as 64bit.

During test patch that adjust page_size_mask to map small range ram with
big page size, found page table is setup wrongly for 32bit. And
native_pagetable_init wrong clear pte for pmd with large page support.
1. add more comments about why we are expecting pte.
2. add BUG checking, so next time we could find problem earlier
when we mess up page table setup again.
3. max_low_pfn is not included boundary for low memory mapping.
We should check from max_low_pfn instead of +1.
4. add print out when some pte really get cleared, or we should use
WARN() to find out why above max_low_pfn get mapped? so we could
fix it.

On 32bit, before patcheset that only set page table for ram, we only
call that one time.
Now, we are calling that during every init_memory_mapping if we have holes
under max_low_pfn.
We should only call it one time after all ranges under max_low_page get
mapped just like we did before.
Also that could avoid the risk to run out of pgt_buf in BRK.
Need to update page_table_range_init() to count the pages for kmap page table
at first, and use new added alloc_low_pages() to get pages in sequence.
That will conform to the requirement that pages need to be in low to high order.

32bit kmap mapping needs pages to be used for low to high.
At this point those pages are still from pgt_buf_* from BRK, so it is
ok now.
But we want to move early_ioremap_page_table_range_init() out of
init_memory_mapping() and only call it one time later, that will
make page_table_range_init/page_table_kmap_check/alloc_low_page to
use memblock to get page.
memblock allocation for pages are from high to low.
So will get panic from page_table_kmap_check() that has BUG_ON to do
ordering checking.
This patch add alloc_low_pages to make it possible to allocate serveral
pages at first, and hand out pages one by one from low to high.

Now all page table buf are pre-mapped, and could use virtual address directly.

Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first.
Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until
all pages get mapped.
alloc_low_page will use page from BRK at first, after that buffer is used
up, will use memblock to find and reserve pages for page table usage.
Introduce min_pfn_mapped to make sure find new pages from mapped ranges,
that will be updated when lower pages get mapped.
Also add step_size to make sure that don't try to map too big range with
limited mapped pages initially, and increase the step_size when we have
more mapped pages on hand.
We don't need to call pagetable_reserve anymore, reserve work is done
in alloc_low_page() directly.
At last we can get rid of calculation and find early pgt related code.
-v2: update to after fix_xen change,
also use MACRO for initial pgt_buf size and add comments with it.
-v3: skip big reserved range in memblock.reserved near end.
-v4: don't need fix_xen change now.
-v5: add changelog about moving about reserving pagetable to alloc_low_page.

After we add code use buffer in BRK to pre-map buf for page table in
following patch:
x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
it should be safe to remove early_memmap for page table accessing.
Instead we get panic with that.
It turns out that we clear the initial page table wrongly for next range
that is separated by holes.
And it only happens when we are trying to map ram range one by one.
We need to check if the range is ram before clearing page table.
We change the loop structure to remove the extra little loop and use
one loop only, and in that loop will caculate next at first, and check if
[addr,next) is covered by E820_RAM.
-v2: E820_RESERVED_KERN is treated as E820_RAM. EFI one change some E820_RAM
to that, so next kernel by kexec will know that range is used already.

We could map small range in the middle of big range at first, so should use

We are going to use buffer in BRK to map small range just under memory top,
and use those new mapped ram to map ram range under it.
The ram range that will be mapped at first could be only page aligned,
but ranges around it are ram too, we could use bigger page to map it to
avoid small page size.
We will adjust page_size_mask in following patch:
x86, mm: Use big page size for small memory range
to use big page size for small ram range.
Before that patch, this patch will make sure start address to be
aligned down according to bigger page size, otherwise entry in page
page will not have correct value.
