[PATCH 9/9] locking/lockdep: Migrate and compact boot-time dependency graph from __initdata

[Jim Cromie via B4 Relay]

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>

Mark early_list_entries[BOOTSTRAP_LOCKDEP_ENTRIES] and its tracking
bitmap as __initdata, dropping permanent static .bss allocation for
lockdep dependency edges from 1.31 MB to 0 KB.

During early boot before buddy page allocator initialization, lockdep
records initial spinlock dependencies into early_list_entries. At
late_initcall, lockdep_compact_boot_graph() completes the handoff:

0. Pre-allocates a 64 KB folio chunk from lockdep_pool outside
   graph_lock to prevent memory allocation recursion with core MM locks.
1. Under raw_local_irq_save() and graph_lock(), walks all_lock_classes,
   migrates live bootstrap nodes into contiguous folio slots, and
   updates locks_after/locks_before lists via list_replace_rcu().
2. Clears bootstrap pointers to NULL so subsequent runtime allocations
   and zap_class() operations bypass the bootstrap address range.
3. Adjusts nr_list_entries to preserve exact live edge accounting.

When free_initmem() executes before userspace launch, the entire 160 KB
bootstrap array is released back to the page allocator.

Live telemetry and graph verification:
- Pre-buddy watermark: 714/4096 bootstrap entries recorded.
- Late initcall migration: 2,656 edges compacted into lockdep_pool.
- Post-boot validation: BFS multi-hop traversals and IRQ constraint
  checks navigate the compacted folio topology with zero corruption.

Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>
---
Notes:
  Live proof of post-compaction validator integrity on v7.2-rc7:
  Immediately following free_initmem(), a live multi-hop locking
  constraint warning (fs_reclaim vs mmu_notifier) triggered lockdep's
  full reporting pipeline.

  This report acts as concrete validation of four core invariants:
  1. BFS Graph Traversal: __bfs() successfully resolved a 3-hop cycle
     across the newly migrated direct-map folio nodes.
  2. Payload Integrity: Stack traces stored during early boot were
     dereferenced from target->trace and printed without corruption.
  3. RCU List Updates: list_replace_rcu() preserved list head pointers
     with zero data races or poisoned node dereferences.
  4. Zero Stale References: No accesses to reclaimed .init.data memory
     occurred during the full graph walk and stack formatting.
