[PATCH 0/6] make memtest a generic kernel feature

[PATCH 0/6] make memtest a generic kernel feature

[Vladimir Murzin]

Hi,

Memtest is a simple feature which fills the memory with a given set of
patterns and validates memory contents, if bad memory regions is detected it
reserves them via memblock API. Since memblock API is widely used by other
architectures this feature can be enabled outside of x86 world.

This patch set promotes memtest to live under generic mm umbrella and enables
memtest feature for arm/arm64.

It was reported that this patch set was useful for tracking down an issue with
some errant DMA on an arm64 platform.

Since it touches x86 and mm bits it'd be great to get ACK/NAK for these bits.

Changelog:

    RFC -> v1
        - updated kernel-parameters.txt for memtest entry
        - updated number of test patterns in Kconfig menu
        - added Acked/Tested tags for arm64 bits
        - rebased on v4.0-rc3

Vladimir Murzin (6):
  mm: move memtest under /mm
  memtest: use phys_addr_t for physical addresses
  arm64: add support for memtest
  arm: add support for memtest
  Kconfig: memtest: update number of test patterns up to 17
  Documentation: update arch list in the 'memtest' entry

[PATCH 1/6] mm: move memtest under /mm

[Vladimir Murzin]

There is nothing platform dependent in the core memtest code, so other platform
might benefit of this feature too.

[PATCH 2/6] memtest: use phys_addr_t for physical addresses

[Vladimir Murzin]

Since memtest might be used by other architectures pass input parameters
as phys_addr_t instead of long to prevent overflow.

[PATCH 5/6] Kconfig: memtest: update number of test patterns up to 17

[Vladimir Murzin]

Additional test patterns for memtest were introduced since 63823126
"x86: memtest: add additional (regular) test patterns", but looks like
Kconfig was not updated that time.

Update Kconfig entry with the actual number of maximum test patterns.
