Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
e189624916
Current ACPI ARM64 NUMA initialization code in
acpi_numa_gicc_affinity_init()
carries out NUMA nodes creation and cpu<->node mappings at the same time
in the arch backend so that a single SRAT walk is needed to parse both
pieces of information. This implies that the cpu<->node mappings must
be stashed in an array (sized NR_CPUS) so that SMP code can later use
the stashed values to avoid another SRAT table walk to set-up the early
cpu<->node mappings.
If the kernel is configured with a NR_CPUS value less than the actual
processor entries in the SRAT (and MADT), the logic in
acpi_numa_gicc_affinity_init() is broken in that the cpu<->node mapping
is only carried out (and stashed for future use) only for a number of
SRAT entries up to NR_CPUS, which do not necessarily correspond to the
possible cpus detected at SMP initialization in
acpi_map_gic_cpu_interface() (ie MADT and SRAT processor entries order
is not enforced), which leaves the kernel with broken cpu<->node
mappings.
Furthermore, given the current ACPI NUMA code parsing logic in
acpi_numa_gicc_affinity_init(), PXM domains for CPUs that are not parsed
because they exceed NR_CPUS entries are not mapped to NUMA nodes (ie the
PXM corresponding node is not created in the kernel) leaving the system
with a broken NUMA topology.
Rework the ACPI ARM64 NUMA initialization process so that the NUMA
nodes creation and cpu<->node mappings are decoupled. cpu<->node
mappings are moved to SMP initialization code (where they are needed),
at the cost of an extra SRAT walk so that ACPI NUMA mappings can be
batched before being applied, fixing current parsing pitfalls.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
