mm/memblock: debug: correct displaying of upper memory boundary
Current memblock APIs don't work on 32 PAE or LPAE extension arches where the physical memory start address beyond 4GB. The problem was discussed here [3] where Tejun, Yinghai(thanks) proposed a way forward with memblock interfaces. Based on the proposal, this series adds necessary memblock interfaces and convert the core kernel code to use them. Architectures already converted to NO_BOOTMEM use these new interfaces and other which still uses bootmem, these new interfaces just fallback to exiting bootmem APIs. So no functional change in behavior. In long run, once all the architectures moves to NO_BOOTMEM, we can get rid of bootmem layer completely. This is one step to remove the core code dependency with bootmem and also gives path for architectures to move away from bootmem. Testing is done on ARM architecture with 32 bit ARM LAPE machines with normal as well sparse(faked) memory model. This patch (of 23): When debugging is enabled (cmdline has "memblock=debug") the memblock will display upper memory boundary per each allocated/freed memory range wrongly. For example: memblock_reserve: [0x0000009e7e8000-0x0000009e7ed000] _memblock_early_alloc_try_nid_nopanic+0xfc/0x12c The 0x0000009e7ed000 is displayed instead of 0x0000009e7ecfff Hence, correct this by changing formula used to calculate upper memory boundary to (u64)base + size - 1 instead of (u64)base + size everywhere in the debug messages.
