[ Upstream commit 05b94cae1c47f94588c3e7096963c1007c4d9c1d ]

During early init CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES can be PAGE_SIZE,
since pageblock_order is still zero and it gets initialized
later during initmem_init() e.g.
setup_arch() -&gt; initmem_init() -&gt; sparse_init() -&gt; set_pageblock_order()

One such use case where this causes issue is -
early_setup() -&gt; early_init_devtree() -&gt; fadump_reserve_mem() -&gt; fadump_cma_init()

This causes CMA memory alignment check to be bypassed in
cma_init_reserved_mem(). Then later cma_activate_area() can hit
a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(pfn &amp; ((1 &lt;&lt; order) - 1)) if the reserved memory
area was not pageblock_order aligned.

Fix it by moving the fadump_cma_init() after initmem_init(),
where other such cma reservations also gets called.

This is due to virt_addr_valid() using high_memory before it is set.

high_memory is set in mem_init() using max_low_pfn, but max_low_pfn
is available long before, it is set in mem_topology_setup(). So just
like commit daa9ada2093e ("powerpc/mm: Fix boot crash with FLATMEM")
moved the setting of max_mapnr immediately after the call to
mem_topology_setup(), the same can be done for high_memory.

Remove CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE
was used at places where CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP or CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE was
appropriate. Replace with appropriate #ifdefs to support CONFIG_KEXEC
and !CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP configuration option. Also, make CONFIG_FA_DUMP
dependent on CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP to avoid unmet dependencies for FA_DUMP
with !CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE configuration option.

<title>powerpc/machdep: Define 'compatibles' property in ppc_md and use it</title>

Most probe functions that do not use the 'compatible' string do
nothing else than checking whether the machine is compatible with
one of the strings in a NULL terminated table of strings.

Define that table of strings in ppc_md structure and check it directly
from probe_machine() instead of using ppc_md.probe() for that.

Keep checking in ppc_md.probe() only for more complex probing.

All .compatible could be replaced with a single element NULL
terminated list but that's not worth the churn. Can be do incrementaly
in follow-up patches.

<content type='text'>
Now move the relevant codes into separate files:
kernel/crash_reserve.c, include/linux/crash_reserve.h.

And add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling.

And also update the old ifdeffery of CONFIG_CRASH_CORE, including of
&lt;linux/crash_core.h&gt; and config item dependency on CRASH_CORE
accordingly.

And also do renaming as follows:
 - arch/xxx/kernel/{crash_core.c =&gt; vmcore_info.c}
because they are only related to vmcoreinfo exporting on x86, arm64,
riscv.

And also Remove config item CRASH_CORE, and rely on CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE to
decide if build in crash_core.c.

<title>powerpc/smp: Remap boot CPU onto core 0 if &gt;= nr_cpu_ids</title>

<id>0875f1ceba974042069f04946aa8f1d4d1e688da</id>
<content type='text'>
If nr_cpu_ids is too low to include the boot CPU, remap the boot CPU
onto logical core 0.

This is achieved in two stages. In early_init_dt_scan_cpus() the boot
CPU is renumbered to be on logical core 0, and the original boot core's
hardware ID is recorded.

Later in smp_setup_cpu_maps(), if the original boot core ID is set, the
logical CPU numbers on the 0th core are skipped in the normal device
tree search over CPU device tree nodes. Then the search is continued
until the device tree node matching the boot core is found, and those
CPUs are assigned the CPU numbers starting at 0.

This allows kdump kernels to be booted with low values for nr_cpu_ids
to conserve memory, while also allowing the crashing/boot CPU to be
any CPU.

Factor out the for loop that assigns CPU numbers to threads of a core.
The function takes the next CPU number to use as input, and returns the
next available CPU number after the threads has been assigned.

This will allow a subsequent change to assign threads out of order.

The of_device_is_available() check only needs to be done once per device
node, there's no need to repeat it for each thread. Move it out of the
loop.
