Now that all early memory information is in memblock when enabled, we
can implement reverse free area iterator and use it to implement NUMA
aware allocator which is then wrapped for simpler variants instead of
the confusing and inefficient mending of information in separate NUMA
aware allocator.
Implement for_each_free_mem_range_reverse(), use it to reimplement
memblock_find_in_range_node() which in turn is used by all allocators.
The visible allocator interface is inconsistent and can probably use
some cleanup too.

Now all ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP archs select HAVE_MEBLOCK_NODE_MAP -
there's no user of early_node_map[] left. Kill early_node_map[] and

relocate for_each_mem_pfn_range() and helper from mm.h to memblock.h

This change is ultimately one to one mapping and shouldn't cause any

some functions which now would fit memblock.c better than page_alloc.c

Node affine memblock allocation logic is currently implemented across
memblock_alloc_nid() and memblock_alloc_nid_region(). This
reorganizes it such that it resembles that of non-NUMA allocation API.
Area finding is collected and moved into new exported function
memblock_find_in_range_node() which is symmetrical to non-NUMA
counterpart - it handles @start/@end and understands ANYWHERE and
ACCESSIBLE. memblock_alloc_nid() now simply calls
memblock_find_in_range_node() and reserves the returned area.
This makes memblock_alloc[_try]_nid() observe ACCESSIBLE limit on node
affine allocations too (again, this doesn't make any difference for
the current sole user - sparc64).

memblock_nid_range() is used to implement memblock_[try_]alloc_nid().
The generic version determines the range by walking early_node_map
with for_each_mem_pfn_range(). The generic version is defined __weak
to allow arch override.
Currently, only sparc overrides it; however, with the previous update
to the generic implementation, there isn't much to be gained with arch
override. Sparc would behave exactly the same with the generic
implementation.
This patch disallows arch override for memblock_nid_range() and make
both generic and sparc versions static.

On larger systems, information in the kernel log is lost because there is
so much early text printed, that it overflows the static log buffer before
the log_buf_len kernel parameter can be processed, and a bigger log buffer
allocated.
Distros are relunctant to increase memory usage by increasing the size of
the static log buffer, so minimize the problem by allocating the new log
buffer as early as possible.

We need to round memory regions correctly -- specifically, we need to
round reserved region in the more expansive direction (lower limit
down, upper limit up) whereas usable memory regions need to be rounded
in the more restrictive direction (lower limit up, upper limit down).
This introduces two set of inlines:
memblock_region_memory_base_pfn()
memblock_region_memory_end_pfn()
memblock_region_reserved_base_pfn()
memblock_region_reserved_end_pfn()
Although they are antisymmetric (and therefore are technically
duplicates) the use of the different inlines explicitly documents the
programmer's intention.
The lack of proper rounding caused a bug on ARM, which was then found
to also affect other architectures.

This implementation is inefficient due to our main algorithm and
callback construct wanting to work on an ascending addresses bases

This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations
from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE).
The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still
be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere.
It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears.
Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I
strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit
during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time
results in something that is accessible with a simple __va().
The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for
the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will
honor the current limit when performing those allocations.

via following scripts
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/lmb/memblock/g' \
-e 's/LMB/MEMBLOCK/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g')
mv $N $M
done
and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.
also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/
