Commit e67a807 ("x86: Fix 'reservetop=' functionality") added a
fixup_early_ioremap() call to parse_reservetop() and declared it
in io.h.

But asm/io.h was only included indirectly - and on some configs
not at all, causing a build failure on those configs.

When specifying the 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter,
the kernel will stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that
relates to commit 8827247ff.

The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of
'slot_virt[i]' was initialized in setup_arch-&gt;early_ioremap_init().
But later in setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will
modify 'FIXADDR_TOP' when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified.

The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated
value of 'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference
old value from slot_virt[slot] directly.

Changelog since v0:

-v1: When reservetop being handled then FIXADDR_TOP get
     adjusted, Hence check prev_map then re-initialize slot_virt and
     PMD based on new FIXADDR_TOP.

-v2: place fixup_early_ioremap hence call early_ioremap_init in
     reserve_top_address  to re-initialize slot_virt and
     corresponding PMD when parse_reservertop

-v3: move fixup_early_ioremap out of reserve_top_address to make
     sure other clients of reserve_top_address like xen/lguest won't
     broken

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

<id>5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Impact: new interface (not yet use)

Define reserve_top_address for x86_64; only for later x86 integration.

Booting kernel with vmalloc=[any size&lt;=16m] will oops on my pc (i386/1G memory).

BUG_ON in arch/x86/mm/init_32.c triggered:
BUG_ON((unsigned long)high_memory &gt; VMALLOC_START);

It's due to the vm area hole.

In include/asm-x86/pgtable_32.h:
#define VMALLOC_OFFSET	(8 * 1024 * 1024)
#define VMALLOC_START	(((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) \
			 &amp; ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))

There's several related point:
1. MAXMEM :
 (-__PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE).
The space after VMALLOC_END is included as well, I set it to
(VMALLOC_END - PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE)

2. VMALLOC_OFFSET is not considered in __VMALLOC_RESERVE
fixed by adding VMALLOC_OFFSET to it.

3. VMALLOC_START :
 (((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) &amp; ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))
So it's not always 8M, bigger than 8M possible.
I set it to ((unsigned long)high_memory + VMALLOC_OFFSET)

4. the VMALLOC_RESERVE is an unused macro, so remove it here.
