[ Upstream commit df5cd369876114f91f9ae60658fea80acfb15890 ]

When we boot a machine using a devicetree, the generic DT code goes
through all nodes with a 'device_type = "memory"' property, and collects
all memory banks mentioned there. However it does not check for the
status property, so any nodes which are explicitly "disabled" will still
be added as a memblock.
This ends up badly for QEMU, when booting with secure firmware on
arm/arm64 machines, because QEMU adds a node describing secure-only
memory:
===================
	secram@e000000 {
		secure-status = "okay";
		status = "disabled";
		reg = &lt;0x00 0xe000000 0x00 0x1000000&gt;;
		device_type = "memory";
	};
===================

The kernel will eventually use that memory block (which is located below
the main DRAM bank), but accesses to that will be answered with an
SError:
===================
[    0.000000] Internal error: synchronous external abort: 96000050 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
[    0.000000] Modules linked in:
[    0.000000] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 5.18.0-rc6-00014-g10c8acb8b679 #524

[    0.000000] sp : ffff80000a4b3d10
....
==================
The actual crash location and call stack will be somewhat random, and
depend on the specific allocation of that physical memory range.

As the DT spec[1] explicitly mentions standard properties, add a simple
check to skip over disabled memory nodes, so that we only use memory
that is meant for non-secure code to use.

That fixes booting a QEMU arm64 VM with EL3 enabled ("secure=on"), when
not using UEFI. In this case the QEMU generated DT will be handed on
to the kernel, which will see the secram node.
This issue is reproducible when using TF-A together with U-Boot as
firmware, then booting with the "booti" command.

When using U-Boot as an UEFI provider, the code there [2] explicitly
filters for disabled nodes when generating the UEFI memory map, so we
are safe.
EDK/2 only reads the first bank of the first DT memory node [3] to learn
about memory, so we got lucky there.

elfcorehdr_addr is fixed address passed to Second kernel which may be conflicted
with potential reserved memory in Second kernel,so fdt_reserve_elfcorehdr() ahead
of fdt_init_reserved_mem() can relieve this situation.

Reserved regions with direct mapping may contain references to other
regions.  CMA region with fixed location is reserved without creating
kmemleak_object for it.

So add them as gray kmemleak objects.

<title>of/fdt: Don't worry about non-memory region overlap for no-map</title>

<id>urn:sha1:da17d6905d29ddcdc04b2fdc37ed8cf1e8437cc8</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 8a5a75e5e9e5 ("of/fdt: Make sure no-map does not remove
already reserved regions") we returned -EBUSY when trying to mark
regions as no-map when they intersect with reserved memory. The goal was
to find bad no-map reserved memory DT nodes that would unmap the kernel
text/data sections.

The problem is the reserved memory check will still trigger if the DT
has a /memreserve/ that completely subsumes the no-map memory carveouts
in the reserved memory node _and_ that region is also not part of the
memory reg property. For example in sc7180.dtsi we have the following
reserved-memory and memory node:

      memory@80000000 {
          /* We expect the bootloader to fill in the size */
          reg = &lt;0 0x80000000 0 0&gt;;
      };

      smem_mem: memory@80900000 {
              reg = &lt;0x0 0x80900000 0x0 0x200000&gt;;
              no-map;
      };

and the memreserve filled in by the bootloader is

      /memreserve/ 0x80800000 0x400000;

while the /memory node is transformed into

      memory@80000000 {
          /* The bootloader fills in the size, and adds another region */
          reg = &lt;0 0x80000000 0 0x00800000&gt;,
                &lt;0 0x80c00000 0 0x7f200000&gt;;
      };

The smem region is doubly reserved via /memreserve/ and by not being
part of the /memory reg property. This leads to the following warning
printed at boot.

 OF: fdt: Reserved memory: failed to reserve memory for node 'memory@80900000': base 0x0000000080900000, size 2 MiB

Otherwise nothing really goes wrong because the smem region is not going
to be mapped by the kernel's direct linear mapping given that it isn't
part of the memory node. Therefore, let's only consider this to be a
problem if we're trying to mark a region as no-map and it is actually
memory that we're intending to keep out of the kernel's direct mapping
but it's already been reserved.

This bug introduced by commit b261dba2fdb2 ("arm64: kdump: Remove custom
linux,usable-memory-range handling"), which moves
memblock_cap_memory_range() to fdt, but it breaches the rules that
memblock_cap_memory_range() should come after memblock_add() etc as said
in commit e888fa7bb882 ("memblock: Check memory add/cap ordering").

As a consequence, the virtual address set up by copy_oldmem_page() does
not bail out from the test of virt_addr_valid() in check_heap_object(),
and finally hits the BUG_ON().

Since memblock allocator has no idea about when the memblock is fully
populated, while efi_init() is aware, so tackling this issue by calling the
interface early_init_dt_check_for_usable_mem_range() exposed by of/fdt.

Currently, we parse the "linux,usable-memory-range" property in
early_init_dt_scan_chosen(), to obtain the specified memory range of the
crash kernel. We then reserve the required memory after
early_init_dt_scan_memory() has identified all available physical memory.
Because the two pieces of code are separated far, the readability and
maintainability are reduced. So bring them together.

Use of the of_scan_flat_dt() function predates libfdt and is discouraged
as libfdt provides a nicer set of APIs. Rework
early_init_dt_scan_memory() to be called directly and use libfdt.
