Implement page mapping percpu first chunk allocator as a fallback to
the embedding allocator. With 4K hash translation we limit our page
table range to 64TB and commit: 0034d395f8 ("powerpc/mm/hash64: Map all the
kernel regions in the same 0xc range") moved all kernel mapping to
that 64TB range. In-order to support sparse memory layout we need
to increase our linear mapping space and reduce other mappings.
With such a layout percpu embedded first chunk allocator will fail
because of small vmalloc range. Add a fallback to page mapping
percpu first chunk allocator for such failures.
The below dmesg output can be observed in such case.
percpu: max_distance=0x1ffffef00000 too large for vmalloc space 0x10000000000
PERCPU: auto allocator failed (-22), falling back to page size
percpu: 40 4K pages/cpu s148816 r0 d15024

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.
