[PATCH v3 00/15] Dynamic allocation of memory regions and IBM vTPM v2

Subject: [PATCH v3 00/15] Dynamic allocation of memory regions and IBM vTPM v2
Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2022 15:24:12 +1000

Hi,

This is a small update to v2
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2022-03/msg00242.html)

Changes since v2:

 - A fix to patch 11 that does IBM CAS, as it turns out my old approach
   caused some more extreme configurations to fail to boot. Oops.
 - Code style fixes (tabs vs spaces).
 - Add Daniel's R-Bs.

This series is also available on github.com/daxtens/grub branch
memrework+vtpm-202204

The v2 cover letter:

This is, at long last, an updated version of my series extending Patrick's
dynamic memory regions to ieee1275.

Noteworthy changes:

 - reworked debug prints as grub_dprintfs. Folded the ieee1275 ones into the
   ieee1275 patches.

 - reworked the ieee1275 runtime memory claiming to be more resilient and better
   documented.

 - fixed comment style and hopefully addressed all other change requests.

 - grub will now try asking for contiguous memory and then, if that fails, for
   discontiguous memory - in case region merging with the discontiguous memory
   is sufficient to allow the eventual allocation to succeed.

 - The ieee1275 code agressively rounds up the size of the region for a dynamic
   allocation - it will now retry with a more precise size if the larger
   allocation fails.

The memtool module is included as an RFC only and will require more work, as
discussed in the patch.

I've also included Stefan's vTPM patch - Stefan kindly tested that his patch
worked with my memory rework series. I have added his tested-by to relevant
Power-specific patches only.

Kind regards,
Daniel

  grub-shell: only pass SeaBIOS fw_opt in for x86 BIOS platforms
  mm: assert that we preserve header vs region alignment
  mm: when adding a region, merge with region after as well as before
  mm: debug support for region operations
  ieee1275: request memory with ibm,client-architecture-support
  ieee1275: drop len -= 1 quirk in heap_init
  ieee1275: support runtime memory claiming
  [RFC] Add memtool module with memory allocation stress-test

Patrick Steinhardt (6):
  mm: Drop unused unloading of modules on OOM
  mm: Allow dynamically requesting additional memory regions
  efi: mm: Always request a fixed number of pages on init
  efi: mm: Extract function to add memory regions
  efi: mm: Pass up errors from `add_memory_regions ()`
  efi: mm: Implement runtime addition of pages
