It is useful to know the exact caller of memblock_phys_alloc_range() to track early memory reservations during development. Currently, when memblock debugging is enabled, the allocations done with memblock_phys_alloc_range() are only reported at memblock_reserve(): [ 0.000000] memblock_reserve: [0x000000023fc6b000-0x000000023fc6bfff] memblock_alloc_range_nid+0xc0/0x188 Add memblock_dbg() to memblock_phys_alloc_range() to get details about its usage. For example: [ 0.000000] memblock_phys_alloc_range: 4096 bytes align=0x1000 from=0x0000000000000000 max_addr=0x0000000000000000 early_pgtable_alloc+0x24/0x178 [ 0.000000] memblock_reserve: [0x000000023fc6b000-0x000000023fc6bfff] memblock_alloc_range_nid+0xc0/0x188 Signed-off-by: Faiyaz Mohammed <faiyazm@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com>
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.
