memblock_merge_regions() is called after regions have been modified to
merge the neighboring compatible regions. That will check all regions
but most checks are useless.
Most of the time we only insert one or a few new regions, or modify one or
a few regions. At this time, we don't need to check all the regions. We
only need to check the changed regions, because other not related regions
cannot be merged.
Add two parameters to memblock_merge_regions() to indicate the lower and
upper boundary to scan.
Debug code that counts the number of total iterations in
memblock_merge_regions(), like for instance
void memblock_merge_regions(struct memblock_type *type)
{
static int iteration_count = 0;
static int max_nr_regions = 0;
max_nr_regions = max(max_nr_regions, (int)type->cnt);
...
while () {
iteration_count++;
...
}
pr_info("iteration_count: %d max_nr_regions %d", iteration_count,
max_nr_regions);
}
Produces the following numbers on a physical machine with 1T of memory:
before: [2.472243] iteration_count: 45410 max_nr_regions 178
after: [2.470869] iteration_count: 923 max_nr_regions 176
The actual startup speed seems to change little, but it does reduce the
scan overhead.

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.
