      Don Morris reproduced on a HP z620 workstation, and bisected it to
      commit e8d19552 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock
      is ready")
      
      It turns out movable_map has some problems, and it breaks several things
      
      1. numa_init is called several times, NOT just for srat. so those
      	nodes_clear(numa_nodes_parsed)
      	memset(&numa_meminfo, 0, sizeof(numa_meminfo))
         can not be just removed.  Need to consider sequence is: numaq, srat, amd, dummy.
         and make fall back path working.
      
      2. simply split acpi_numa_init to early_parse_srat.
         a. that early_parse_srat is NOT called for ia64, so you break ia64.
         b.  for (i = 0; i < MAX_LOCAL_APIC; i++)
      	     set_apicid_to_node(i, NUMA_NO_NODE)
           still left in numa_init. So it will just clear result from early_parse_srat.
           it should be moved before that....
         c.  it breaks ACPI_TABLE_OVERIDE...as the acpi table scan is moved
             early before override from INITRD is settled.
      
      3. that patch TITLE is total misleading, there is NO x86 in the title,
         but it changes critical x86 code. It caused x86 guys did not
         pay attention to find the problem early. Those patches really should
         be routed via tip/x86/mm.
      
      4. after that commit, following range can not use movable ram:
        a. real_mode code.... well..funny, legacy Node0 [0,1M) could be hot-removed?
        b. initrd... it will be freed after booting, so it could be on movable...
        c. crashkernel for kdump...: looks like we can not put kdump kernel above 4G
      	anymore.
        d. init_mem_mapping: can not put page table high anymore.
        e. initmem_init: vmemmap can not be high local node anymore. That is
           not good.
      
      If node is hotplugable, the mem related range like page table and
      vmemmap could be on the that node without problem and should be on that
      node.
      
      We have workaround patch that could fix some problems, but some can not
      be fixed.
      
      So just remove that offending commit and related ones including:
      
       f7210e6c ("mm/memblock.c: use CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP to
          protect movablecore_map in memblock_overlaps_region().")
      
       01a178a9 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from
          SRAT")
      
       27168d38 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: extend movablemem_map ranges to
          the end of node")
      
       e8d19552 ("acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is
          ready")
      
       fb06bc8e ("page_alloc: bootmem limit with movablecore_map")
      
       42f47e27 ("page_alloc: make movablemem_map have higher priority")
      
       6981ec31 ("page_alloc: introduce zone_movable_limit[] to keep
          movable limit for nodes")
      
       34b71f1e ("page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter")
      
       4d59a751 ("x86: get pg_data_t's memory from other node")
      
      Later we should have patches that will make sure kernel put page table
      and vmemmap on local node ram instead of push them down to node0.  Also
      need to find way to put other kernel used ram to local node ram.

      acpi, memory-hotplug: parse SRAT before memblock is ready · e8d19552
      Tang Chen 提交于
      On linux, the pages used by kernel could not be migrated.  As a result,
      if a memory range is used by kernel, it cannot be hot-removed.  So if we
      want to hot-remove memory, we should prevent kernel from using it.
      
      The way now used to prevent this is specify a memory range by
      movablemem_map boot option and set it as ZONE_MOVABLE.
      
      But when the system is booting, memblock will allocate memory, and
      reserve the memory for kernel.  And before we parse SRAT, and know the
      node memory ranges, memblock is working.  And it may allocate memory in
      ranges to be set as ZONE_MOVABLE.  This memory can be used by kernel,
      and never be freed.
      
      So, let's parse SRAT before memblock is called first.  And it is early
      enough.
      
      The first call of memblock_find_in_range_node() is in:
      
        setup_arch()
          |-->setup_real_mode()
      
      so, this patch add a function early_parse_srat() to parse SRAT, and call
      it before setup_real_mode() is called.
      
      NOTE:
      
      1) early_parse_srat() is called before numa_init(), and has initialized
         numa_meminfo.  So DO NOT clear numa_nodes_parsed in numa_init() and DO
         NOT zero numa_meminfo in numa_init(), otherwise we will lose memory
         numa info.
      
      2) I don't know why using count of memory affinities parsed from SRAT
         as a return value in original acpi_numa_init().  So I add a static
         variable srat_mem_cnt to remember this count and use it as the return
         value of the new acpi_numa_init()

      efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities · 83e68189
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
      EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
      indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
      bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.
      
      The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,
      
          https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
      
      which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
      designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
      bricked. Also, the following report,
      
          https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
      
      details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
      Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
      running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,
      
          if (!efi_enabled)
      
      hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.
      
      Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
      what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
      facilities.
      
      For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
      the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
      the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
      mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
      driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
      would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).
      
      This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

      x86/Sandy Bridge: reserve pages when integrated graphics is present · a9acc536
      Jesse Barnes 提交于
      SNB graphics devices have a bug that prevent them from accessing certain
      memory ranges, namely anything below 1M and in the pages listed in the
      table.  So reserve those at boot if set detect a SNB gfx device on the
      CPU to avoid GPU hangs.
      
      Stephane Marchesin had a similar patch to the page allocator awhile
      back, but rather than reserving pages up front, it leaked them at
      allocation time.

      jiffies: Remove compile time assumptions about CLOCK_TICK_RATE · b3c869d3
      John Stultz 提交于
      CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how
      a tick will be at a given HZ.
      
      This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ,
      the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit,
      so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second.
      
      This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems
      when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources.
      Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to
      generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use
      to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error.
      
      Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile
      time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very
      early during boot, there are a number of cases where there
      are different possible hardware timers that have different
      tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where
      there are numerous different types of hardware, each having
      their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to
      accurately support different hardware with a single kernel.
      
      For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not
      too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven
      clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources
      who's granularity error is negligable.
      
      Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do
      everywhere to handle these edge cases.
      
      This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and
      introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results
      in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ
      freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy
      to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified
      dynamically at boot.
      
      This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time
      CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and
      still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock.
      
      NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies()
      calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions
      in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but
      if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of
      setup_arch() should resolve the regression:
      	register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE)
