Add online_movable and online_kernel for logic memory hotplug. This is
the dynamic version of "movablecore" & "kernelcore".
We have the same reason to introduce it as to introduce "movablecore" &
"kernelcore". It has the same motive as "movablecore" & "kernelcore", but
it is dynamic/running-time:
o We can configure memory as kernelcore or movablecore after boot.
Userspace workload is increased, we need more hugepage, we can't use
"online_movable" to add memory and allow the system use more
THP(transparent-huge-page), vice-verse when kernel workload is increase.
Also help for virtualization to dynamic configure host/guest's memory,
to save/(reduce waste) memory.
Memory capacity on Demand
o When a new node is physically online after boot, we need to use
"online_movable" or "online_kernel" to configure/portion it as we
expected when we logic-online it.
This configuration also helps for physically-memory-migrate.
o all benefit as the same as existed "movablecore" & "kernelcore".
o Preparing for movable-node, which is very important for power-saving,
hardware partitioning and high-available-system(hardware fault
management).
(Note, we don't introduce movable-node here.)
Action behavior:
When a memoryblock/memorysection is onlined by "online_movable", the kernel
will not have directly reference to the page of the memoryblock,
thus we can remove that memory any time when needed.
When it is online by "online_kernel", the kernel can use it.
When it is online by "online", the zone type doesn't changed.
Current constraints:
Only the memoryblock which is adjacent to the ZONE_MOVABLE
can be online from ZONE_NORMAL to ZONE_MOVABLE.

Currently memory_hotplug only manages the node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it
forgets to manage node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY]. This may cause
node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] to become incorrect.
Example, if a node is empty before online, and we online a memory which is
in ZONE_NORMAL. And after online, node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] is correct,
but node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] is incorrect, the online code doesn't set
the new online node to node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].
The same thing will happen when offlining (the offline code doesn't clear
the node from node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] when needed). Some memory
managment code depends node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], so we have to fix up
the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY].
We add node_states_check_changes_online() and
node_states_check_changes_offline() to detect whether
node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] and node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are changed
while hotpluging.
Also add @status_change_nid_normal to struct memory_notify, thus the
memory hotplug callbacks know whether the node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] are
changed. (We can add a @flags and reuse @status_change_nid instead of
introducing @status_change_nid_normal, but it will add much more
complexity in memory hotplug callback in every subsystem. So introducing
@status_change_nid_normal is better and it doesn't change the sematics of
@status_change_nid)

Update the memory sysfs code such that each sysfs memory directory is now
considered a memory block that can span multiple memory sections per
memory block. The default size of each memory block is SECTION_SIZE_BITS
to maintain the current behavior of having a single memory section per
memory block (i.e. one sysfs directory per memory section).
For architectures that want to have memory blocks span multiple
memory sections they need only define their own memory_block_size_bytes()
routine.
Update the memory hotplug documentation to reflect the new behaviors of
memory blocks reflected in sysfs.

Commit c04fc586c (mm: show node to memory section relationship with
symlinks in sysfs) created symlinks from nodes to memory sections, e.g.
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
If you're examining the memory section though and are wondering what node
it might belong to, you can find it by grovelling around in sysfs, but
it's a little cumbersome.
Add a reverse symlink for each memory section that points back to the
node to which it belongs.

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.
In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.
Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.
