[PATCH v2 2/5] page_alloc: add movable_memmap kernel parameter

From: Tang Chen
Date: Fri Nov 23 2012 - 05:45:14 EST


This patch adds functions to parse movablecore_map boot option. Since the
option could be specified more then once, all the maps will be stored in
the global variable movablecore_map.map array.

And also, we keep the array in monotonic increasing order by start_pfn.
And merge all overlapped ranges.

+ movablecore_map=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
+ [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter is similar to
+ memmap except it specifies the memory map of
+ ZONE_MOVABLE.
+ If more areas are all within one node, then from
+ lowest ss to the end of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE.
+ If an area covers two or more nodes, the area from
+ ss to the end of the 1st node will be ZONE_MOVABLE,
+ and all the rest nodes will only have ZONE_MOVABLE.
+ If memmap is specified at the same time, the
+ movablecore_map will be limited within the memmap
+ areas. If kernelcore or movablecore is also specified,
+ movablecore_map will have higher priority to be
+ satisfied. So the administrator should be careful that
+ the amount of movablecore_map areas are not too large.
+ Otherwise kernel won't have enough memory to start.
