Linux has recently gained support for "reserve_mem": A mechanism to
allocate a region of memory early enough in boot that we can cross our
fingers and hope it stays at the same location during most boots, so we
can store for example ftrace buffers into it.
Thanks to KASLR, we can never be really sure that "reserve_mem"
allocations are static across kexec. Let's teach it KHO awareness so that
it serializes its reservations on kexec exit and deserializes them again
on boot, preserving the exact same mapping across kexec.
This is an example user for KHO in the KHO patch set to ensure we have at
least one (not very controversial) user in the tree before extending KHO's
use to more subsystems.

When we have a KHO kexec, we get an FDT blob and scratch region to
populate the state of the system. Provide helper functions that allow
architecture code to easily handle memory reservations based on them and
give device drivers visibility into the KHO FDT and memory reservations so
they can recover their own state.
Include a fix from Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

With deferred initialization of struct page it will be necessary to
initialize memory map for KHO scratch regions early.
Add memmap_init_kho_scratch() method that will allow such initialization
in upcoming patches.

With KHO (Kexec HandOver), we need a way to ensure that the new kernel
does not allocate memory on top of any memory regions that the previous
kernel was handing over. But to know where those are, we need to include
them in the memblock.reserved array which may not be big enough to hold
all ranges that need to be persisted across kexec. To resize the array,
we need to allocate memory. That brings us into a catch 22 situation.
The solution to that is limit memblock allocations to the scratch regions:
safe regions to operate in the case when there is memory that should
remain intact across kexec.
KHO provides several "scratch regions" as part of its metadata. These
scratch regions are contiguous memory blocks that known not to contain any
memory that should be persisted across kexec. These regions should be
large enough to accommodate all memblock allocations done by the kexeced
kernel.
We introduce a new memblock_set_scratch_only() function that allows KHO to
indicate that any memblock allocation must happen from the scratch
regions.
Later, we may want to perform another KHO kexec. For that, we reuse the
same scratch regions. To ensure that no eventually handed over data gets
allocated inside a scratch region, we flip the semantics of the scratch
region with memblock_clear_scratch_only(): After that call, no allocations
may happen from scratch memblock regions. We will lift that restriction
in the next patch.

Patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)", v8.
Kexec today considers itself purely a boot loader: When we enter the new
kernel, any state the previous kernel left behind is irrelevant and the
new kernel reinitializes the system.
However, there are use cases where this mode of operation is not what we
actually want. In virtualization hosts for example, we want to use kexec
to update the host kernel while virtual machine memory stays untouched.
When we add device assignment to the mix, we also need to ensure that
IOMMU and VFIO states are untouched. If we add PCIe peer to peer DMA, we
need to do the same for the PCI subsystem. If we want to kexec while an
SEV-SNP enabled virtual machine is running, we need to preserve the VM
context pages and physical memory. See "pkernfs: Persisting guest memory
and kernel/device state safely across kexec" Linux Plumbers Conference
2023 presentation for details:
https://lpc.events/event/17/contributions/1485/
To start us on the journey to support all the use cases above, this patch
implements basic infrastructure to allow hand over of kernel state across
kexec (Kexec HandOver, aka KHO). As a really simple example target, we
use memblock's reserve_mem.
With this patchset applied, memory that was reserved using "reserve_mem"
command line options remains intact after kexec and it is guaranteed to
reside at the same physical address.
== Alternatives ==
There are alternative approaches to (parts of) the problems above:
* Memory Pools [1] - preallocated persistent memory region + allocator
* PRMEM [2] - resizable persistent memory regions with fixed metadata
pointer on the kernel command line + allocator
* Pkernfs [3] - preallocated file system for in-kernel data with fixed
address location on the kernel command line
* PKRAM [4] - handover of user space pages using a fixed metadata page
specified via command line
All of the approaches above fundamentally have the same problem: They
require the administrator to explicitly carve out a physical memory
location because they have no mechanism outside of the kernel command line
to pass data (including memory reservations) between kexec'ing kernels.
KHO provides that base foundation. We will determine later whether we
still need any of the approaches above for fast bulk memory handover of
for example IOMMU page tables. But IMHO they would all be users of KHO,
with KHO providing the foundational primitive to pass metadata and bulk
memory reservations as well as provide easy versioning for data.
== Overview ==
We introduce a metadata file that the kernels pass between each other.
How they pass it is architecture specific. The file's format is a
Flattened Device Tree (fdt) which has a generator and parser already
included in Linux. KHO is enabled in the kernel command line by `kho=on`.
When the root user enables KHO through
/sys/kernel/debug/kho/out/finalize, the kernel invokes callbacks to every
KHO users to register preserved memory regions, which contain drivers'
states.
When the actual kexec happens, the fdt is part of the image set that we
boot into. In addition, we keep "scratch regions" available for kexec:
physically contiguous memory regions that are guaranteed to not have any
memory that KHO would preserve. The new kernel bootstraps itself using
the scratch regions and sets all handed over memory as in use. When
drivers initialize that support KHO, they introspect the fdt, restore
preserved memory regions, and retrieve their states stored in the
preserved memory.
== Limitations ==
Currently KHO is only implemented for file based kexec. The kernel
interfaces in the patch set are already in place to support user space
kexec as well, but it is still not implemented it yet inside kexec tools.
== How to Use ==
To use the code, please boot the kernel with the "kho=on" command line
parameter. KHO will automatically create scratch regions. If you want to
set the scratch size explicitly you can use "kho_scratch=" command line
parameter. For instance, "kho_scratch=16M,512M,256M" will reserve a 16
MiB low memory scratch area, a 512 MiB global scratch region, and 256 MiB
per NUMA node scratch regions on boot.
Make sure to have a reserved memory range requested with reserv_mem
command line option, for example, "reserve_mem=64m:4k:n1".
Then before you invoke file based "kexec -l", finalize KHO FDT:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kho/out/finalize
You can preview the generated FDT using `dtc`,
# dtc /sys/kernel/debug/kho/out/fdt
# dtc /sys/kernel/debug/kho/out/sub_fdts/memblock
`dtc` is available on ubuntu by `sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler`.
Now kexec into the new kernel,
# kexec -l Image --initrd=initrd -s
# kexec -e
(The order of KHO finalization and "kexec -l" does not matter.)
The new kernel will boot up and contain the previous kernel's reserve_mem
contents at the same physical address as the first kernel.
You can also review the FDT passed from the old kernel,
# dtc /sys/kernel/debug/kho/in/fdt
# dtc /sys/kernel/debug/kho/in/sub_fdts/memblock
This patch (of 17):
To denote areas that were reserved for kernel use either directly with
memblock_reserve_kern() or via memblock allocations.

When increasing the array size in memblock_double_array() and the slab
is not yet available, a call to memblock_find_in_range() is used to
reserve/allocate memory. However, the range returned may not have been
accepted, which can result in a crash when booting an SNP guest:

Mitigate this by calling accept_memory() on the memory range returned
before the slab is available.
Prior to v6.12, the accept_memory() interface used a 'start' and 'end'
parameter instead of 'start' and 'size', therefore the accept_memory()
call must be adjusted to specify 'start + size' for 'end' when applying
to kernels prior to v6.12.

Commit 61167ad5fecd ("mm: pass nid to reserve_bootmem_region()") introduce
a way to set nid to all reserved region.
But there is a corner case it will leave some region with invalid nid.
When memblock_set_node() doubles the array of memblock.reserved, it may
lead to a new reserved region before current position. The new region
will be left with an invalid node id.
Repeat the process when detecting it.

The second parameter of memblock_set_node() is size instead of end.
Since it iterates from lower address to higher address, finally the node
id is correct. But during the process, some of them are wrong.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.
- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.
- The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
effects are anticipated.
- The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.

All architectures that support HIGHMEM have their code that frees high
memory pages to the buddy allocator while __free_memory_core() is limited
to freeing only low memory.
There is no actual reason for that. The memory map is completely ready by
the time memblock_free_all() is called and high pages can be released to
the buddy allocator along with low memory.
Remove low memory limit from __free_memory_core() and drop per-architecture
code that frees high memory pages.

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

During bootup, system may need the number of free pages in the whole system
to do some calculation before all pages are freed to buddy system. Usually
this number is get from totalram_pages(). Since we plan to move the free
pages accounting in __free_pages_core(), this value may not represent
total free pages at the early stage, especially when
CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled.
Instead of using raw memblock api, let's introduce a new helper for user
to get the estimated number of free pages from memblock point of view.

If a driver/subsystem tries to do an allocation after the memblock
allocations have been freed and the memory handed to the buddy
allocator, it will not actually be legal to use that allocation: the
buddy allocator owns the memory. Currently this mis-use is handled by
the memblock function which does allocations and returns virtual
addresses by printing a warning and doing a kmalloc instead. However
the physical allocation function does not to do this check - callers of
the physical alloc function are unprotected against mis-use.
Improve the error catching here by moving the check into the physical
allocation function which is used by the virtual addr allocation
function.

In order to allow for requesting a memory region that can be used for
things like pstore on multiple machines where the memory layout is not the
same, add a new option to the kernel command line called "reserve_mem".
The format is: reserve_mem=nn:align:name
Where it will find nn amount of memory at the given alignment of align.
The name field is to allow another subsystem to retrieve where the memory
was found. For example:
reserve_mem=12M:4096:oops ramoops.mem_name=oops
Where ramoops.mem_name will tell ramoops that memory was reserved for it
via the reserve_mem option and it can find it by calling:
if (reserve_mem_find_by_name("oops", &start, &size)) {
// start holds the start address and size holds the size given
This is typically used for systems that do not wipe the RAM, and this
command line will try to reserve the same physical memory on soft reboots.
Note, it is not guaranteed to be the same location. For example, if KASLR
places the kernel at the location of where the RAM reservation was from a
previous boot, the new reservation will be at a different location. Any
subsystem using this feature must add a way to verify that the contents of
the physical memory is from a previous boot, as there may be cases where
the memory will not be located at the same location.
Not all systems may work either. There could be bit flips if the reboot
goes through the BIOS. Using kexec to reboot the machine is likely to
have better results in such cases.

The dummy entry is introduced in the initial implementation of lmb in
commit 7c8c6b9776fb ("powerpc: Merge lmb.c and make MM initialization
use it.").
As the comment says the empty dummy entry is to simplify the code.
/* Create a dummy zero size LMB which will get coalesced away later.
* This simplifies the lmb_add() code below...
*/
While current code is reimplemented by Tejun in commit 784656f9c680
("memblock: Reimplement memblock_add_region()"). This empty dummy entry
seems not benefit the code any more.

On an (old) x86 system with SRAT just covering space above 4Gb:
ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x100000000-0xfffffffff] hotplug
the commit referenced below leads to this NUMA configuration no longer
being refused by a CONFIG_NUMA=y kernel (previously
NUMA: nodes only cover 6144MB of your 8185MB e820 RAM. Not used.
No NUMA configuration found
Faking a node at [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000027fffffff]
was seen in the log directly after the message quoted above), because of
memblock_validate_numa_coverage() checking for NUMA_NO_NODE (only). This
in turn led to memblock_alloc_range_nid()'s warning about MAX_NUMNODES
triggering, followed by a NULL deref in memmap_init() when trying to
access node 64's (NODE_SHIFT=6) node data.
To compensate said change, make memblock_set_node() warn on and adjust
a passed in value of MAX_NUMNODES, just like various other functions
already do.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cxl/cxl
Pull cxl fixes from Dan Williams:
"A collection of significant fixes for the CXL subsystem.
The largest change in this set, that bordered on "new development", is
the fix for the fact that the location of the new qos_class attribute
did not match the Documentation. The fix ends up deleting more code
than it added, and it has a new unit test to backstop basic errors in
this interface going forward. So the "red-diff" and unit test saved
the "rip it out and try again" response.
In contrast, the new notification path for firmware reported CXL
errors (CXL CPER notifications) has a locking context bug that can not
be fixed with a red-diff. Given where the release cycle stands, it is
not comfortable to squeeze in that fix in these waning days. So, that
receives the "back it out and try again later" treatment.
There is a regression fix in the code that establishes memory NUMA
nodes for platform CXL regions. That has an ack from x86 folks. There
are a couple more fixups for Linux to understand (reassemble) CXL
regions instantiated by platform firmware. The policy around platforms
that do not match host-physical-address with system-physical-address
(i.e. systems that have an address translation mechanism between the
address range reported in the ACPI CEDT.CFMWS and endpoint decoders)
has been softened to abort driver load rather than teardown the memory
range (can cause system hangs). Lastly, there is a robustness /
regression fix for cases where the driver would previously continue in
the face of error, and a fixup for PCI error notification handling.
Summary:
- Fix NUMA initialization from ACPI CEDT.CFMWS
- Fix region assembly failures due to async init order
- Fix / simplify export of qos_class information
- Fix cxl_acpi initialization vs single-window-init failures
- Fix handling of repeated 'pci_channel_io_frozen' notifications
- Workaround platforms that violate host-physical-address ==
system-physical address assumptions

numa_fill_memblks() fills in the gaps in numa_meminfo memblks over a
physical address range. To do so, it first creates a list of existing
memblks that overlap that address range. The issue is that it is off
by one when comparing to the end of the address range, so memblks
that do not overlap are selected.
The impact of selecting a memblk that does not actually overlap is
that an existing memblk may be filled when the expected action is to
do nothing and return NUMA_NO_MEMBLK to the caller. The caller can
then add a new NUMA node and memblk.
Replace the broken open-coded search for address overlap with the
memblock helper memblock_addrs_overlap(). Update the kernel doc
and in code comments.

Sanity check that makes sure the nodes cover all memory loops over
numa_meminfo to count the pages that have node id assigned by the
firmware, then loops again over memblock.memory to find the total amount
of memory and in the end checks that the difference between the total
memory and memory that covered by nodes is less than some threshold.
Worse, the loop over numa_meminfo calls __absent_pages_in_range() that
also partially traverses memblock.memory.
It's much simpler and more efficient to have a single traversal of
memblock.memory that verifies that amount of memory not covered by nodes
is less than a threshold.
Introduce memblock_validate_numa_coverage() that does exactly that and use
it instead of numa_meminfo_cover_memory().

The callers of memblock_reserve() do not check the return value
presuming that memblock_reserve() always succeeds, but there are
cases where it may fail.
Having numerous memblock reservations at early boot where
memblock_can_resize is unset may exhaust the INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS sized
memblock.reserved regions array and an attempt to double this array via
memblock_double_array() will fail and will return -1 to the caller.
When this happens the system crashes anyway, but it's hard to identify
the reason for the crash.
Add a panic message to memblock_double_array() to aid debugging of the
cases when too many regions are reserved before memblock can resize
memblock.reserved array.

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.

This reverts commit 9e46e4dcd9d6cd88342b028dbfa5f4fb7483d39c.
kbuild reports a warning in memblock_remove_region() because of a false
positive caused by partial reset of the memblock state.
Doing the full reset will remove the false positives, but will allow
late use of memblock_free() to go unnoticed, so it is better to revert
the offending commit.

The memblock_discard function frees the memblock.reserved.regions
array, which is good.
However, if a subsequent memblock_free (or memblock_phys_free) comes
in later, from for example ima_free_kexec_buffer, that will result in
a use after free bug in memblock_isolate_range.
When running a kernel with CONFIG_KASAN enabled, this will cause a
kernel panic very early in boot. Without CONFIG_KASAN, there is
a chance that memblock_isolate_range might scribble on memory
that is now in use by somebody else.
Avoid those issues by making sure that memblock_discard points
memblock.reserved.regions back at the static buffer.
If memblock_free is called after memblock memory is discarded, that will
print a warning in memblock_remove_region.

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.
The following data was tested on an x86 machine with 190GB of RAM.

managed pages has already been set to 0 in free_area_init_core_hotplug(),
via zone_init_internals() on each zone. It's pointless to reset again.
Furthermore, reset_node_managed_pages() no longer needs to be exposed
outside of mm/memblock.c. Remove declaration in include/linux/memblock.h
and define it as static.
In addtion to this, the only caller of reset_node_managed_pages() is
reset_all_zones_managed_pages(), which is annotated with __init, so it
should be safe to also mark reset_node_managed_pages() as __init.

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.

The node id for memblock reserved regions will be wrong,
so let's show 'x' for reg->nid == MAX_NUMNODES in debugfs to keep it align.

Currently, the memblock debugfs can display the count of memblock_type and
the base and end of the reg. However, when memblock_mark_*() or
memblock_set_node() is executed on some range, the information in the
existing debugfs cannot make it clear why the address is not consecutive.
For example,
cat /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/memory
0: 0x0000000080000000..0x00000000901fffff
1: 0x0000000090200000..0x00000000905fffff
2: 0x0000000090600000..0x0000000092ffffff
3: 0x0000000093000000..0x00000000973fffff
4: 0x0000000097400000..0x00000000b71fffff
5: 0x00000000c0000000..0x00000000dfffffff
6: 0x00000000e2500000..0x00000000f87fffff
7: 0x00000000f8800000..0x00000000fa7fffff
8: 0x00000000fa800000..0x00000000fd3effff
9: 0x00000000fd3f0000..0x00000000fd3fefff
10: 0x00000000fd3ff000..0x00000000fd7fffff
11: 0x00000000fd800000..0x00000000fd901fff
12: 0x00000000fd902000..0x00000000fd909fff
13: 0x00000000fd90a000..0x00000000fd90bfff
14: 0x00000000fd90c000..0x00000000ffffffff
15: 0x0000000880000000..0x0000000affffffff
So we can add flags and nid to this debugfs.
For example,
cat /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/memory
0: 0x0000000080000000..0x00000000901fffff 0 NONE
1: 0x0000000090200000..0x00000000905fffff 0 NOMAP
2: 0x0000000090600000..0x0000000092ffffff 0 NONE
3: 0x0000000093000000..0x00000000973fffff 0 NOMAP
4: 0x0000000097400000..0x00000000b71fffff 0 NONE
5: 0x00000000c0000000..0x00000000dfffffff 0 NONE
6: 0x00000000e2500000..0x00000000f87fffff 0 NONE
