powerpc/book3s64/radix: Fix boot failure with large amount of guest memory
If the hypervisor doesn't support hugepages, the kernel ends up allocating a large number of page table pages. The early page table allocation was wrongly setting the max memblock limit to ppc64_rma_size with radix translation which resulted in boot failure as shown below. Kernel panic - not syncing: early_alloc_pgtable: Failed to allocate 16777216 bytes align=0x1000000 nid=-1 from=0x0000000000000000 max_addr=0xffffffffffffffff CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.8.0-24.9-default+ #2 Call Trace: [c0000000016f3d00] [c0000000007c6470] dump_stack+0xc4/0x114 (unreliable) [c0000000016f3d40] [c00000000014c78c] panic+0x164/0x418 [c0000000016f3dd0] [c000000000098890] early_alloc_pgtable+0xe0/0xec [c0000000016f3e60] [c0000000010a5440] radix__early_init_mmu+0x360/0x4b4 [c0000000016f3ef0] [c000000001099bac] early_init_mmu+0x1c/0x3c [c0000000016f3f10] [c00000000109a320] early_setup+0x134/0x170 This was because the kernel was checking for the radix feature before we enable the feature via mmu_features. This resulted in the kernel using hash restrictions on radix. Rework the early init code such that the kernel boot with memblock restrictions as imposed by hash. At that point, the kernel still hasn't finalized the translation the kernel will end up using. We have three different ways of detecting radix. 1. dt_cpu_ftrs_scan -> used only in case of PowerNV 2. ibm,pa-features -> Used when we don't use cpu_dt_ftr_scan 3. CAS -> Where we negotiate with hypervisor about the supported translation. We look at 1 or 2 early in the boot and after that, we look at the CAS vector to finalize the translation the kernel will use. We also support a kernel command line option (disable_radix) to switch to hash. Update the memblock limit after mmu_early_init_devtree() if the kernel is going to use radix translation. This forces some of the memblock allocations we do before mmu_early_init_devtree() to be within the RMA limit.
