Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302
On x86 and x86-64, it is possible that page tables are shared beween
shared mappings backed by hugetlbfs. As part of this,
page_table_shareable() checks a pair of vma->vm_flags and they must match
if they are to be shared. All VMA flags are taken into account, including
VM_LOCKED.
The problem is that VM_LOCKED is cleared on fork(). When a process with a
shared memory segment forks() to exec() a helper, there will be shared
VMAs with different flags. The impact is that the shared segment is
sometimes considered shareable and other times not, depending on what
process is checking.
What happens is that the segment page tables are being shared but the
count is inaccurate depending on the ordering of events. As the page
tables are freed with put_page(), bad pmd's are found when some of the
children exit. The hugepage counters also get corrupted and the Total and
Free count will no longer match even when all the hugepage-backed regions
are freed. This requires a reboot of the machine to "fix".
This patch addresses the problem by comparing all flags except VM_LOCKED
when deciding if pagetables should be shared or not for hugetlbfs-backed
mapping.

Recently there were some changes to the meaning of node_possible_map,
and it is quite strange:
- the node without memory would be set in node_possible_map
- but some node with less NODE_MIN_SIZE will be kicked out of node_possible_map.
fix it by adding strict_setup_node_bootmem().
Also, remove unparse_node().
so result will be:
1. cpu_to_node() will return online node only (nearest one)
2. apicid_to_node() still returns the node that could be not online but is set
in node_possible_map.
3. node_possible_map will include nodes that mem on it are less NODE_MIN_SIZE

| x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model
we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore.
Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.
This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

It is expected that there might be slight differences between the e820
map and the SRAT table and the intention was that 1MB of slack be allowed.
The calculation comparing e820ram and pxmram assumes the units are bytes,
when they are in fact pages. This means 4GB of slack is being allowed,
not 1MB. This patch makes the correct comparison.

node_cover_memory() sanity checks the SRAT table by ensuring that all
PXMs cover the memory reported in the e820.
However, when calculating the size of the holes in the e820, it uses
the early_node_map[] which contains information taken from both SRAT
and e820. If the SRAT is missing an entry, then it is not detected
that the SRAT table is incorrect and missing entries.
This patch uses the e820 map to calculate the holes instead of
early_node_map[].

Remove page level granularity track and untrack of vm_insert_pfn.
memtype tracking at page granularity does not scale and cleaner
approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger
IO address range or PCI io memory range for that device, either at
mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during
vm_insert_pfn.
This patch just removes the track/untrack of vm_insert_pfn. That
means we will be in same state as 2.6.28, with respect to these APIs.
Newer APIs for the drivers to request a memtype for a bigger region
is coming soon.
