[ Upstream commit e2af9da4f867a1a54f1252bf3abc1a5c63951778 ]

Fix IA64 discontig.c Section mismatch warnings.

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y, the functions
computer_pernodesize() and scatter_node_data() should not be marked as
__meminit because they are needed after init, on any memory hotplug
event.  Also, early_nr_cpus_node() is called by compute_pernodesize(),
so early_nr_cpus_node() cannot be __meminit either.

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x1612): Section mismatch in reference from the function arch_alloc_nodedata() to the function .meminit.text:compute_pernodesize()
  The function arch_alloc_nodedata() references the function __meminit compute_pernodesize().
  This is often because arch_alloc_nodedata lacks a __meminit annotation or the annotation of compute_pernodesize is wrong.

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x1692): Section mismatch in reference from the function arch_refresh_nodedata() to the function .meminit.text:scatter_node_data()
  The function arch_refresh_nodedata() references the function __meminit scatter_node_data().
  This is often because arch_refresh_nodedata lacks a __meminit annotation or the annotation of scatter_node_data is wrong.

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x1502): Section mismatch in reference from the function compute_pernodesize() to the function .meminit.text:early_nr_cpus_node()
  The function compute_pernodesize() references the function __meminit early_nr_cpus_node().
  This is often because compute_pernodesize lacks a __meminit annotation or the annotation of early_nr_cpus_node is wrong.

<content type='text'>
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
  appeared in a linux-next release.  The changes outside of the typical
  drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
  removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
  the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

  Summary:

   - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
     mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
     kernel's direct map.

     This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
     operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
     'struct block_device_operations').

     For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
     from "System RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device
     memory will arrive in a later kernel.

   - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
     ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
     mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
     replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
     pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.

     Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

   - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
     driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
     persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.

   - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
     cacheable to improve performance.

   - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
     issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
     'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
     ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
     fixes"

<id>urn:sha1:033fbae988fcb67e5077203512181890848b8e90</id>
<content type='text'>
While pmem is usable as a block device or via DAX mappings to userspace
there are several usage scenarios that can not target pmem due to its
lack of struct page coverage. In preparation for "hot plugging" pmem
into the vmemmap add ZONE_DEVICE as a new zone to tag these pages
separately from the ones that are subject to standard page allocations.
Importantly "device memory" can be removed at will by userspace
unbinding the driver of the device.

Having a separate zone prevents allocation and otherwise marks these
pages that are distinct from typical uniform memory.  Device memory has
different lifetime and performance characteristics than RAM.  However,
since we have run out of ZONES_SHIFT bits this functionality currently
depends on sacrificing ZONE_DMA.

<title>[IA64] Drop debug test/printk that some special pages are marked reserved</title>

<id>urn:sha1:43c518d197e7758bc64e0485050de347797faab6</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 92923ca3aace "mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region"
we dropped setting the reserved bits for all pages. This results in some warnings
on ia64:

put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005588000 not in reserved memory
put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005588000 not in reserved memory
put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005580000 not in reserved memory
put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005580000 not in reserved memory
put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005580000 not in reserved memory
put_kernel_page: page at 0xe000000005580000 not in reserved memory

the two different pages match up with two objects from the loaded kernel
that get mapped by arch/ia64/mm/init.c:setup_gate()

a000000101588000 D __start_gate_section
a000000101580000 D empty_zero_page

In a discussion with Mel Gorman:
  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150526102219.GB13750%40suse.de
he suggested that while the preferred approach might be to
set the reserved bit for these pages, it would also be OK
to just drop the test:
   "as it's a debugging check that is ia-64 specific"

After hunting around a bit and failin to find a good place to mark these
pages as reserved - I decided to just delete the test.

<title>mm: meminit: make __early_pfn_to_nid SMP-safe and introduce meminit_pfn_in_nid</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8a942fdea560d4ac0e9d9fabcd5201ad20e0c382</id>
<content type='text'>
__early_pfn_to_nid() use static variables to cache recent lookups as
memblock lookups are very expensive but it assumes that memory
initialisation is single-threaded.  Parallel initialisation of struct
pages will break that assumption so this patch makes __early_pfn_to_nid()
SMP-safe by requiring the caller to cache recent search information.
early_pfn_to_nid() keeps the same interface but is only safe to use early
in boot due to the use of a global static variable.  meminit_pfn_in_nid()
is an SMP-safe version that callers must maintain their own state for.

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions of huge_pmd_unshare.  In
all architectures this function just returns 0 when
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE is N.

This patch puts the default implementation in mm/hugetlb.c and lets these
architectures use the common code.

All the ia64 pvops code is now dead code since both
xen and kvm support have been ripped out [0] [1]. Just
that no one had troubled to rip this stuff out. The only
useful remaining pieces were the old pvops docs but that
was recently also generalized and moved out from ia64 [2].

This has been run time tested on an ia64 Madison system.
