Subject: mm/sparsemem: Allocate mem_section at runtime for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME=y
From: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 83e3c48729d9ebb7af5a31a504f3fd6aff0348c4 upstream.
Size of the mem_section[] array depends on the size of the physical address space.
In preparation for boot-time switching between paging modes on x86-64
we need to make the allocation of mem_section[] dynamic, because otherwise
we waste a lot of RAM: with CONFIG_NODE_SHIFT=10, mem_section[] size is 32kB
for 4-level paging and 2MB for 5-level paging mode.
The patch allocates the array on the first call to sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions().
