mainlining shenanigans
bbd6ec605c
The arch code for hot-remove must tear down portions of the linear map and vmemmap corresponding to memory being removed. In both cases the page tables mapping these regions must be freed, and when sparse vmemmap is in use the memory backing the vmemmap must also be freed. This patch adds unmap_hotplug_range() and free_empty_tables() helpers which can be used to tear down either region and calls it from vmemmap_free() and ___remove_pgd_mapping(). The free_mapped argument determines whether the backing memory will be freed. It makes two distinct passes over the kernel page table. In the first pass with unmap_hotplug_range() it unmaps, invalidates applicable TLB cache and frees backing memory if required (vmemmap) for each mapped leaf entry. In the second pass with free_empty_tables() it looks for empty page table sections whose page table page can be unmapped, TLB invalidated and freed. While freeing intermediate level page table pages bail out if any of its entries are still valid. This can happen for partially filled kernel page table either from a previously attempted failed memory hot add or while removing an address range which does not span the entire page table page range. The vmemmap region may share levels of table with the vmalloc region. There can be conflicts between hot remove freeing page table pages with a concurrent vmalloc() walking the kernel page table. This conflict can not just be solved by taking the init_mm ptl because of existing locking scheme in vmalloc(). So free_empty_tables() implements a floor and ceiling method which is borrowed from user page table tear with free_pgd_range() which skips freeing page table pages if intermediate address range is not aligned or maximum floor-ceiling might not own the entire page table page. Boot memory on arm64 cannot be removed. Hence this registers a new memory hotplug notifier which prevents boot memory offlining and it's removal. While here update arch_add_memory() to handle __add_pages() failures by just unmapping recently added kernel linear mapping. Now enable memory hot remove on arm64 platforms by default with ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. This implementation is overall inspired from kernel page table tear down procedure on X86 architecture and user page table tear down method.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
