Patch series "memblock: simplify several early memory allocation", v4. These patches simplify some of the early memory allocations by replacing usage of older memblock APIs with newer and shinier ones. Quite a few places in the arch/ code allocated memory using a memblock API that returns a physical address of the allocated area, then converted this physical address to a virtual one and then used memset(0) to clear the allocated range. More recent memblock APIs do all the three steps in one call and their usage simplifies the code. It's important to note that regardless of API used, the core allocation is nearly identical for any set of memblock allocators: first it tries to find a free memory with all the constraints specified by the caller and then falls back to the allocation with some or all constraints disabled. The first three patches perform the conversion of call sites that have exact requirements for the node and the possible memory range. The fourth patch is a bit one-off as it simplifies openrisc's implementation of pte_alloc_one_kernel(), and not only the memblock usage. The fifth patch takes care of simpler cases when the allocation can be satisfied with a simple call to memblock_alloc(). The sixth patch removes one-liner wrappers for memblock_alloc on arm and unicore32, as suggested by Christoph. This patch (of 6): There are a several places that allocate memory using memblock APIs that return a physical address, convert the returned address to the virtual address and frequently also memset(0) the allocated range. Update these places to use memblock allocators already returning a virtual address. Use memblock functions that clear the allocated memory instead of calling memset(0) where appropriate. The calls to memblock_alloc_base() that were not followed by memset(0) are replaced with memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw(). Since the latter does not panic() when the allocation fails, the appropriate panic() calls are added to the call sites.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
