Aneesh Kumar K.V 600cafd55b powerpc/book3s64/radix: Fix boot failure with large amount of guest memory
[ Upstream commit 103a8542cb35b5130f732d00b0419a594ba1b517 ]

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

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.

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.

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.
