From: Jia He <hejianet@xxxxxxxxx>
Commit b92df1de5d28 ("mm: page_alloc: skip over regions of invalid pfns
where possible") optimized the loop in memmap_init_zone(). But it causes
possible panic on x86 due to specific memory mapping on x86_64 which will
skip valid pfns as well, so Daniel Vacek reverted it later.
But as suggested by Daniel Vacek, it is fine to using memblock to skip
gaps and finding next valid frame with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID.
Daniel said:
"On arm and arm64, memblock is used by default. But generic version of
pfn_valid() is based on mem sections and memblock_next_valid_pfn() does
not always return the next valid one but skips more resulting in some
valid frames to be skipped (as if they were invalid). And that's why
kernel was eventually crashing on some !arm machines."
Introduce a new config option CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_PFN_VALID and only
selected for arm64, using the new config option to guard the
memblock_next_valid_pfn().
This was tested on a HiSilicon Kunpeng920 based ARM64 server, the speedup
is pretty impressive for bootmem_init() at boot:
with 384G memory,
before: 13310ms
after: 1415ms
with 1T memory,
before: 20s
after: 2s
