[PATCH v2 1/2] mm/memblock: expose only miminal interface to add/walk physmem

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Wed Jul 01 2020 - 10:19:01 EST


"physmem" in the memblock allocator is somewhat weird: it's not actually
used for allocation, it's simply information collected during boot, which
describes the unmodified physical memory map at boot time, without any
standby/hotplugged memory. It's only used on s390x and is currently the
only reason s390x keeps using CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.

Physmem isn't numa aware and current users don't specify any flags. Let's
hide it from the user, exposing only for_each_physmem(), and simplify. The
interface for physmem is now really minimalistic:
- memblock_physmem_add() to add ranges
- for_each_physmem() / __next_physmem_range() to walk physmem ranges

Don't place it into an __init section and don't discard it without
CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. As we're reusing __next_mem_range(), remove
the __meminit notifier to avoid section mismatch warnings once
CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK is no longer used with
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_PHYS_MAP.

While fixing up the documentation, sneak in some related cleanups. We can
stop setting CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_PHYS_MAP for s390x next.
