Subject: [PATCH v2] bootconfig: use memblock_free_late to free xbc memory to buddy
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2024 18:49:41 +0800

On the time to free xbc memory in xbc_exit(), memblock may has handed
over memory to buddy allocator. So it doesn't make sense to free memory
back to memblock. memblock_free() called by xbc_exit() even causes UAF bugs
on architectures with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK disabled like x86.
Following KASAN logs shows this case.

This patch fixes the xbc memory free problem by calling memblock_free()
in early xbc init error rewind path and calling memblock_free_late() in
xbc exit path to free memory to buddy allocator.

v2:
- add an early flag in xbc_free_mem() to free memory back to memblock in
  xbc_init error path or put memory to buddy allocator in normal xbc_exit.
