arch, mm: set max_mapnr when allocating memory map for FLATMEM

max_mapnr is essentially the size of the memory map for systems that use
FLATMEM. There is no reason to calculate it in each and every architecture
when it's anyway calculated in alloc_node_mem_map().

Drop setting of max_mapnr from architecture code and set it once in
alloc_node_mem_map().

While on it, move definition of mem_map and max_mapnr to mm/mm_init.c so
there won't be two copies for MMU and !MMU variants.

mm/memblock: add memblock_alloc_or_panic interface

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

It is also a preparation for the standardization of vdso data storage.

powerpc/fadump: Move fadump_cma_init to setup_arch() after initmem_init()

During early init CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES can be PAGE_SIZE,
since pageblock_order is still zero and it gets initialized
later during initmem_init() e.g.
setup_arch() -> initmem_init() -> sparse_init() -> set_pageblock_order()

One such use case where this causes issue is -
early_setup() -> early_init_devtree() -> fadump_reserve_mem() -> fadump_cma_init()

This causes CMA memory alignment check to be bypassed in
cma_init_reserved_mem(). Then later cma_activate_area() can hit
a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(pfn & ((1 << order) - 1)) if the reserved memory
area was not pageblock_order aligned.

Fix it by moving the fadump_cma_init() after initmem_init(),
where other such cma reservations also gets called.

This is due to virt_addr_valid() using high_memory before it is set.

high_memory is set in mem_init() using max_low_pfn, but max_low_pfn
is available long before, it is set in mem_topology_setup(). So just
like commit daa9ada2093e ("powerpc/mm: Fix boot crash with FLATMEM")
moved the setting of max_mapnr immediately after the call to
mem_topology_setup(), the same can be done for high_memory.

powerpc/machdep: Define 'compatibles' property in ppc_md and use it

Most probe functions that do not use the 'compatible' string do
nothing else than checking whether the machine is compatible with
one of the strings in a NULL terminated table of strings.

Define that table of strings in ppc_md structure and check it directly
from probe_machine() instead of using ppc_md.probe() for that.

Keep checking in ppc_md.probe() only for more complex probing.

All .compatible could be replaced with a single element NULL
terminated list but that's not worth the churn. Can be do incrementaly
in follow-up patches.

powerpc/smp: Remap boot CPU onto core 0 if >= nr_cpu_ids

If nr_cpu_ids is too low to include the boot CPU, remap the boot CPU
onto logical core 0.

This is achieved in two stages. In early_init_dt_scan_cpus() the boot
CPU is renumbered to be on logical core 0, and the original boot core's
hardware ID is recorded.

Later in smp_setup_cpu_maps(), if the original boot core ID is set, the
logical CPU numbers on the 0th core are skipped in the normal device
tree search over CPU device tree nodes. Then the search is continued
until the device tree node matching the boot core is found, and those
CPUs are assigned the CPU numbers starting at 0.

This allows kdump kernels to be booted with low values for nr_cpu_ids
to conserve memory, while also allowing the crashing/boot CPU to be
any CPU.

A bisect pointed to the breakage beginning with commit 9fee28baa601 ("powerpc:
implement the new page table range API").

Analysis of the oops pointed to a struct page with a corrupted
compound_head being loaded via page_folio() -> _compound_head() in
hash_page_do_lazy_icache().

The access by the mpic code is to an MMIO address, so the expectation
is that the struct page for that address would be initialised by
init_unavailable_range(), as pointed out by Aneesh.

Instrumentation showed that was not the case, which eventually lead to
the realisation that pfn_valid() was returning false for that address,
causing the struct page to not be initialised.

Because the system is using FLATMEM, the version of pfn_valid() in
memory_model.h is used:

static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
...
return pfn >= pfn_offset && (pfn - pfn_offset) < max_mapnr;
}

Which relies on max_mapnr being initialised. Early in boot max_mapnr is
zero meaning no PFNs are valid.

max_mapnr is initialised in mem_init() called via:

start_kernel()
mm_core_init() # init/main.c:928
mem_init()

But that is too late for the usage in init_unavailable_range() called via:

start_kernel()
setup_arch() # init/main.c:893
paging_init()
free_area_init()
init_unavailable_range()

Although max_mapnr is currently set in mem_init(), the value is actually
already available much earlier, as soon as mem_topology_setup() has
completed, which is also before paging_init() is called. So move the
initialisation there, which causes paging_init() to correctly initialise
the struct page and fixes the bug.

This bug seems to have been lurking for years, but went unnoticed
because the pre-folio code was inspecting the uninitialised page->flags
but not dereferencing it.

Thanks to Erhard and Aneesh for help debugging.

vga16fb: drop powerpc support

I noticed that commit 0db5b61e0dc07 ("fbdev/vga16fb: Create
EGA/VGA devices in sysfb code") broke vga16fb on non-x86 platforms,
because the sysfb code never creates a vga-framebuffer device when
screen_info.orig_video_isVGA is set to '1' instead of VIDEO_TYPE_VGAC.

However, it turns out that the only architecture that has allowed
building vga16fb in the past 20 years is powerpc, and this only worked
on two 32-bit platforms and never on 64-bit powerpc. The last machine
that actually used this was removed in linux-3.10, so this is all dead
code and can be removed.

The big-endian support in vga16fb.c could also be removed, but I'd just
leave this in place.

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

powerpc/64: Move paca allocation to early_setup()

The early paca and boot cpuid dance is complicated and currently does
not quite work as expected for boot cpuid != 0 cases.

early_init_devtree() currently allocates the paca_ptrs and boot cpuid
paca, but until that returns and early_setup() calls setup_paca(), this
thread is currently still executing with smp_processor_id() == 0.

One problem this causes is the paca_ptrs[smp_processor_id()] pointer is
poisoned, so valid_emergency_stack() (any backtrace) and any similar
users will crash.

Another is that the hardware id which is set here will not be returned
by get_hard_smp_processor_id(smp_processor_id()), but it would work
correctly for boot_cpuid == 0, which could lead to difficult to
reproduce or find bugs. The hard id does not seem to be used by the rest
of early_init_devtree(), it just looks like all this code might have
been put here to allocate somewhere to store boot CPU hardware id while
scanning the devtree.

Rearrange things so the hwid is put in a global variable like
boot_cpuid, and do all the paca allocation and boot paca setup in the
64-bit early_setup() after we have everything ready to go.

The paca_ptrs[0] re-poisoning code in early_setup does not seem to have
ever worked, because paca_ptrs[0] was never not-poisoned when boot_cpuid
is not 0.

powerpc/mm: Move CMA reservations after initmem_init()

After commit 11ac3e87ce09 ("mm: cma: use pageblock_order as the single
alignment") there is an error at boot about the KVM CMA reservation
failing, eg:

kvm_cma_reserve: reserving 6553 MiB for global area
cma: Failed to reserve 6553 MiB

That makes it impossible to start KVM guests using the hash MMU with
more than 2G of memory, because the VM is unable to allocate a large
enough region for the hash page table, eg:

$ qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm -M pseries -m 4G ...
qemu-system-ppc64: Failed to allocate KVM HPT of order 25: Cannot allocate memory

Aneesh pointed out that this happens because when kvm_cma_reserve() is
called, pageblock_order has not been initialised yet, and is still zero,
causing the checks in cma_init_reserved_mem() against
CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_PAGES to fail.

Fix it by moving the call to kvm_cma_reserve() after initmem_init(). The
pageblock_order is initialised in sparse_init() which is called from
initmem_init().

Also move the hugetlb CMA reservation.
