      bootup, and make it easy to find if it is continuous.

      x86_64: fix setup_node_bootmem to support big mem excluding with memmap · 1a27fc0a
      Yinghai Lu authored
      typical case: four sockets system, every node has 4g ram, and we are using:
      
      	memmap=10g$4g
      
      to mask out memory on node1 and node2
      
      when numa is enabled, early_node_mem is used to get node_data and node_bootmap.
      
      if it can not get memory from the same node with find_e820_area(), it will
      use alloc_bootmem to get buff from previous nodes.
      
      so check it and print out some info about it.
      
      need to move early_res_to_bootmem into every setup_node_bootmem.
      and it takes range that node has. otherwise alloc_bootmem could return addr
      that reserved early.
      
      depends on "mm: make reserve_bootmem can crossed the nodes".

      x86_64: make reserve_bootmem_generic() use new reserve_bootmem() · 8b3cd09e
      Yinghai Lu authored
      "mm: make reserve_bootmem can crossed the nodes" provides new
      reserve_bootmem(), let reserve_bootmem_generic() use that.
      
      reserve_bootmem_generic() is used to reserve initramdisk, so this way
      we can make sure even when bootloader or kexec load ranges cross the
      node memory boundaries, reserve_bootmem still works.

      mm: allow reserve_bootmem() cross nodes · a5645a61
      Yinghai Lu authored
      split reserve_bootmem_core() into two functions, one which checks
      conflicts, and one which sets the bits.
      
      and make reserve_bootmem to loop bdata_list to cross the nodes.
      
      user could be crashkernel and ramdisk..., in case the range provided
      by those externalities crosses the nodes.

      mm: offset align in alloc_bootmem() · 9a2dc04c
      Yinghai Lu authored
      need offset alignment when node_boot_start's alignment is less than
      the alignment required.
      
      use local node_boot_start to match alignment - so don't add extra operation
      in search loop.

      mm: fix alloc_bootmem_core to use fast searching for all nodes · ad09315c
      Yinghai Lu authored
      Make the nodes other than node 0 use bdata->last_success for fast
      search too.
      
      We need to use __alloc_bootmem_core() for vmemmap allocation for other
      nodes when numa and sparsemem/vmemmap are enabled.
      
      Also, make fail_block path increase i with incr only after ALIGN
      to avoid extra increase when size is larger than align.

      mm: make mem_map allocation continuous · e123dd3f
      Yinghai Lu authored
      vmemmap allocation currently has this layout:
      
       [ffffe20000000000-ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->ffff810001400000 on node 0
       [ffffe20000200000-ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->ffff810001800000 on node 0
       [ffffe20000400000-ffffe200005fffff] PMD ->ffff810001c00000 on node 0
       [ffffe20000600000-ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->ffff810002000000 on node 0
       [ffffe20000800000-ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->ffff810002400000 on node 0
      ...
      
      note that there is a 2M hole between them - not optimal.
      
      the root cause is that usemap (24 bytes) will be allocated after every 2M
      mem_map, and it will push next vmemmap (2M) to the next (2M) alignment.
      
      solution: try to allocate the mem_map continously.
      
      after the patch, we get:
      
       [ffffe20000000000-ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->ffff810001400000 on node 0
       [ffffe20000200000-ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->ffff810001600000 on node 0
       [ffffe20000400000-ffffe200005fffff] PMD ->ffff810001800000 on node 0
       [ffffe20000600000-ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->ffff810001a00000 on node 0
       [ffffe20000800000-ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->ffff810001c00000 on node 0
      ...
      
      which is the ideal layout.
      
      and usemap will share a page because of they are allocated continuously too:
      
      sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00000 size = 24
      sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00080 size = 24
      sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00100 size = 24
      sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00180 size = 24
      ...
      
      so we make the bootmem allocation more compact and use less memory
      for usemap => mission accomplished ;-)
