A slightly calmer cycle for docs this time around, though there is still a
fair amount going on, including:
- Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation
- Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for patch
submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption by
generative tools.
- The completion of the move of the documentation tools to tools/docs. For
now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink behind to avoid breaking
scripts.
- Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of documentation in
Python code, better support for documenting variables, and lots of
improvements and fixes.
- Automatic linking of man-page references -- cat(1), for example -- to
the online pages in the HTML build.
...and the usual array of typo fixes and such.

The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the preferred
affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask) against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug events. One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along the way. Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated partitions. The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's suggestion.

liveupdate: luo_flb: introduce File-Lifecycle-Bound global state
Introduce a mechanism for managing global kernel state whose lifecycle is tied to the preservation of one or more files. This is necessary for subsystems where multiple preserved file descriptors depend on a single, shared underlying resource. An example is HugeTLB, where multiple file descriptors such as memfd and guest_memfd may rely on the state of a single HugeTLB subsystem. Preserving this state for each individual file would be redundant and incorrect. The state should be preserved only once when the first file is preserved, and restored/finished only once the last file is handled. This patch introduces File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) objects to solve this problem. An FLB is a global, reference-counted object with a defined set of operations: - A file handler (struct liveupdate_file_handler) declares a dependency on one or more FLBs via a new registration function, liveupdate_register_flb(). - When the first file depending on an FLB is preserved, the FLB's .preserve() callback is invoked to save the shared global state. The reference count is then incremented for each subsequent file. - Conversely, when the last file is unpreserved (before reboot) or finished (after reboot), the FLB's .unpreserve() or .finish() callback is invoked to clean up the global resource. The implementation includes: - A new set of ABI definitions (luo_flb_ser, luo_flb_head_ser) and a corresponding FDT node (luo-flb) to serialize the state of all active FLBs and pass them via Kexec Handover. - Core logic in luo_flb.c to manage FLB registration, reference counting, and the invocation of lifecycle callbacks. - An API (liveupdate_flb_get/_incoming/_outgoing) for other kernel subsystems to safely access the live object managed by an FLB, both before and after the live update. This framework provides the necessary infrastructure for more complex subsystems like IOMMU, VFIO, and KVM to integrate with the Live Update Orchestrator.

list: add primitives for private list manipulations
Patch series "list private v2 & luo flb", v9. This series introduces two connected infrastructure improvements: a new API for handling private linked lists, and the "File-Lifecycle-Bound" (FLB) mechanism for the Live Update Orchestrator. 1. Private List Primitives (patches 1-3) Recently, Linux introduced the ability to mark structure members as __private and access them via ACCESS_PRIVATE(). This enforces better encapsulation by ensuring internal details are only accessible by the owning subsystem. However, struct list_head is frequently used as an internal linkage mechanism within these private sections. The standard macros in <linux/list.h> do not support ACCESS_PRIVATE() natively. Consequently, subsystems using private lists are forced to implement ad-hoc workarounds or local iterator macros. This series adds <linux/list_private.h>, providing a set of primitives identical to those in <linux/list.h> but designed for private list heads. It also includes a KUnit test suite to verify that the macros correctly handle pointer offsets and qualifiers. 2. This series adds FLB (patches 4-5) support to Live Update that also internally uses private lists. FLB allows global kernel state (such as IOMMU domains or HugeTLB state) to be preserved once, shared across multiple file descriptors, and restored when needed. This is necessary for subsystems where multiple preserved file descriptors depend on a single, shared underlying resource. Preserving this state for each individual file would be redundant and incorrect. FLB uses reference counting tied to the lifecycle of preserved files. The state is preserved when the first file depending on it is preserved, and restored or cleaned up only when the last file is handled. This patch (of 5): Linux recently added an ability to add private members to structs (i.e. __private) and access them via ACCESS_PRIVATE(). This ensures that those members are only accessible by the subsystem which owns the struct type, and not to the object owner. However, struct list_head often needs to be placed into the private section to be manipulated privately by the subsystem. Add macros to support private list manipulations in <linux/list_private.h>.

kho: relocate vmalloc preservation structure to KHO ABI header
The `struct kho_vmalloc` defines the in-memory layout for preserving vmalloc regions across kexec. This layout is a contract between kernels and part of the KHO ABI. To reflect this relationship, the related structs and helper macros are relocated to the ABI header, `include/linux/kho/abi/kexec_handover.h`. This move places the structure's definition under the protection of the KHO_FDT_COMPATIBLE version string. The structure and its components are now also documented within the ABI header to describe the contract and prevent ABI breaks.

kho: introduce KHO FDT ABI header
Introduce the `include/linux/kho/abi/kexec_handover.h` header file, which defines the stable ABI for the KHO mechanism. This header specifies how preserved data is passed between kernels using an FDT. The ABI contract includes the FDT structure, node properties, and the "kho-v1" compatible string. By centralizing these definitions, this header serves as the foundational agreement for inter-kernel communication of preserved states, ensuring forward compatibility and preventing misinterpretation of data across kexec transitions. Since the ABI definitions are now centralized in the header files, the YAML files that previously described the FDT interfaces are redundant. These redundant files have therefore been removed.

Documentation: use a source-read extension for the index link boilerplate
The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't. For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst, but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a ".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html builds. This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the root document. Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py. For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic()
callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe().
Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread.
It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an
experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org
Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI
context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ
context:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35
In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.
- Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.
- Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
the suspend.
- Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.
- Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It
prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the
ownership in the middle of a record
- Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB
- Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where
possible
- Misc code clean up

dma-debug: refactor to use physical addresses for page mapping
Convert the DMA debug infrastructure from page-based to physical address-based mapping as a preparation to rely on physical address for DMA mapping routines. The refactoring renames debug_dma_map_page() to debug_dma_map_phys() and changes its signature to accept a phys_addr_t parameter instead of struct page and offset. Similarly, debug_dma_unmap_page() becomes debug_dma_unmap_phys(). A new dma_debug_phy type is introduced to distinguish physical address mappings from other debug entry types. All callers throughout the codebase are updated to pass physical addresses directly, eliminating the need for page-to-physical conversion in the debug layer. This refactoring eliminates the need to convert between page pointers and physical addresses in the debug layer, making the code more efficient and consistent with the DMA mapping API's physical address focus.

dma-mapping: introduce new DMA attribute to indicate MMIO memory
This patch introduces the DMA_ATTR_MMIO attribute to mark DMA buffers that reside in memory-mapped I/O (MMIO) regions, such as device BARs exposed through the host bridge, which are accessible for peer-to-peer (P2P) DMA. This attribute is especially useful for exporting device memory to other devices for DMA without CPU involvement, and avoids unnecessary or potentially detrimental CPU cache maintenance calls. DMA_ATTR_MMIO is supposed to provide dma_map_resource() functionality without need to call to special function and perform branching when processing generic containers like bio_vec by the callers.

Documentation/printf: Use literal fwnode_handle
When looking for fwnode_handle in the printk format documentation, it is
only found in the Chinese translation:
$ git grep fwnode_handle -- Documentation/*printk-formats.rst
Documentation/translations/zh_CN/core-api/printk-formats.rst:用于打印fwnode_handles的消息。默认情况下是打印完整的节点名称，包括路径。
This happens because the original documentation talks about "fwnode
handles", without mentioning the actual type name.

module: Rename EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES to EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES
Christoph suggested that the explicit _GPL_ can be dropped from the module namespace export macro, as it's intended for in-tree modules only. It would be possible to restrict it technically, but it was pointed out [2] that some cases of using an out-of-tree build of an in-tree module with the same name are legitimate. But in that case those also have to be GPL anyway so it's unnecessary to spell it out in the macro name.

Summary of significant series in this pull request:
- The 4 patch series "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new
VMAs" from Lorenzo Stoakes addresses an issue with KSM's
PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for
merging with existing adjacent VMAs.

practical access monitoring" from SeongJae Park adds a new kernel module
which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production
environments.
- The 6 patch series "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem
writeout" from Christoph Hellwig is a cleanup to the writeback code
which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control.
- The 7 patch series "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups"
from Donet Tom contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node
setup and management code.

- The 5 patch series "Remove zero_user()" from Matthew Wilcox expunges
zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page().
- The 3 patch series "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and
vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" from David Hildenbrand addresses some warts
which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be
causing any issues at this time.

type" from Alistair Popple removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags.
- The 5 patch series "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" from SeongJae
Park implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON
sysfs layer.

lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code.
- The 4 patch series "madvise anon_name cleanups" from Vlastimil Babka
provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort.
- The 11 patch series "Implement numa node notifier" from Oscar Salvador

Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline
notifier.
- The 6 patch series "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" from Zi Yan
cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which
doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.
- The 5 patch series "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON
sysfs functionality tests" from SeongJae Park adds additional drgn- and
python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the
existing selftest suite.
- The 5 patch series "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" from Oscar
Salvador fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and
follows that fix with a series of cleanups.

(part 1)" from David Hildenbrand provides cleanups and
future-preparedness to the migration code.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned
monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" from SeongJae Park adds some
tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code.
- The 6 patch series "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" from
SeongJae Park does that.
- The 6 patch series "mm/damon: misc cleanups" from SeongJae Park also
does what it claims.
- The 4 patch series "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" from David
Hildenbrand cleans up the large folio PTE batching code.
- The 13 patch series "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in
migrate_{hot,cold} actions" from SeongJae Park facilitates dynamic
alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy.
- The 3 patch series "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" from Vishal Moola
provides a couple of page->folio conversions.
- The 4 patch series "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" from Davidlohr
Bueso implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.
- The 14 patch series "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" from SeongJae
Park replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.
- The 10 patch series "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs"
from Lorenzo Stoakes implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course)
in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the
remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It
still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be
performed reliably.

stats update" from SeongJae Park augments the present
userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic
update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update
interval.
- The 4 patch series "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" from
Kemeng Shi does what is claims.
- The 4 patch series "mm: introduce snapshot_page" from Luiz Capitulino
and David Hildenbrand provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style
functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly
without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live
pageframe directly.
- The 6 patch series "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" from
Suren Baghdasaryan addresses the large contention issues which can be
triggered by reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more
than half in some situations. The series also introduces several new
selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.
- The 6 patch series "__folio_split() clean up" from Zi Yan cleans up
__folio_split()!
- The 7 patch series "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" from Dev
Jain provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing
with large folios.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm
volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" from wang lian does some
cleanup work in the selftests code.
- The 3 patch series "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" from Lorenzo
Stoakes extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.
- The 22 patch series "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters"
from SeongJae Park extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it
tests all possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present
minimal subset.

It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build system:
- The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the turn of
the millennium. Over the following 25 years, it accumulated a vast
amount of cruft, all in a language few people want to deal with anymore.
Mauro's Python replacement in 6.16 faithfully reproduced all of the cruft
in the hope of avoiding regressions. Now that we have a more reasonable
code base, though, we can work on cleaning it up; many of the changes
this time around are toward that end.
- A reorganization of the ext4 docs into the usual TOC format.
- Various Chinese translations and updates.
- A new script from Mauro to help with docs-build testing.
- A new document for linked lists
- A sweep through MAINTAINERS fixing broken GitHub git:// repository links.
...and lots of fixes and updates.

docs: dma-api: update streaming DMA physical address constraints
Add an introductory paragraph to Part Id - Streaming DMA mappings and move the explanation of address constraints there, because it applies to all map functions. Clarify that streaming DMA can be used with memory which does not meet the addressing constraints of a device, but it may fail in that case. Make a note about SWIOTLB and link to the detailed description of it. Do not mention platform-dependent allocation flags. The note may mislead device driver authors into thinking that they should poke into and try to second-guess the DMA API implementation. They definitely shouldn't. Remove the claim that platforms with an IOMMU may not require physically contiguous buffers. The current implementation explicitly rejects vmalloc addresses, regardless of IOMMU.

docs: dma-api: remove remnants of PCI DMA API
The wording sometimes suggests there are multiple functions for an operation. This was in fact the case before PCI DMA API was removed, but since there is only one API now, the documentation has become confusing.

lib/crc: Prepare for arch-optimized code in subdirs of lib/crc/
Rework how lib/crc/ supports arch-optimized code. First, instead of the arch-optimized CRC code being in arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/, it will now be in lib/crc/$(SRCARCH)/. Second, the API functions (e.g. crc32c()), arch-optimized functions (e.g. crc32c_arch()), and generic functions (e.g. crc32c_base()) will now be part of a single module for each CRC type, allowing better inlining and dead code elimination. The second change is made possible by the first. As an example, consider CONFIG_CRC32=m on x86. We'll now have just crc32.ko instead of both crc32-x86.ko and crc32.ko. The two modules were already coupled together and always both got loaded together via direct symbol dependency, so the separation provided no benefit. Note: later I'd like to apply the same design to lib/crypto/ too, where often the API functions are out-of-line so this will work even better. In those cases, for each algorithm we currently have 3 modules all coupled together, e.g. libsha256.ko, libsha256-generic.ko, and sha256-x86.ko. We should have just one, inline things properly, and rely on the compiler's dead code elimination to decide the inclusion of the generic code instead of manually setting it via kconfig. Having arch-specific code outside arch/ was somewhat controversial when Zinc proposed it back in 2018. But I don't think the concerns are warranted. It's better from a technical perspective, as it enables the improvements mentioned above. This model is already successfully used in other places in the kernel such as lib/raid6/. The community of each architecture still remains free to work on the code, even if it's not in arch/. At the time there was also a desire to put the library code in the same files as the old-school crypto API, but that was a mistake; now that the library is separate, that's no longer a constraint either.

workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. This patch adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release cycle to allow callers to transition their calls. Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will become the implicit default. tj: Merged doc patch.

- The 11 patch series "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox
simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code.

This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently." - The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.

At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.

irqdomain: Fix kernel-doc and add it to Documentation
irqdomain.c's kernel-doc exists, but is not plugged into Documentation/
yet.
Before plugging it in, fix it first: irq_domain_get_irq_data() and
irq_domain_set_info() were documented twice. Identically, by both
definitions for CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY and !CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_HIERARCHY.
Therefore, switch the second kernel-doc into an ordinary comment -- change
"/**" to simple "/*". This avoids sphinx's: WARNING: Duplicate C

* 3rd person -> add 's' to verbs.
* End some sentences with period and start a new one. Avoid thus heavy

Documentation: KHO: add memblock bindings
We introduced KHO into Linux: A framework that allows Linux to pass metadata and memory across kexec from Linux to Linux. KHO reuses fdt as file format and shares a lot of the same properties of firmware-to- Linux boot formats: It needs a stable, documented ABI that allows for forward and backward compatibility as well as versioning. As first user of KHO, we introduced memblock which can now preserve memory ranges reserved with reserve_mem command line options contents across kexec, so you can use the post-kexec kernel to read traces from the pre-kexec kernel. This patch adds memblock schemas similar to "device" device tree ones to a new kho bindings directory. This allows us to force contributors to document the data that moves across KHO kexecs and catch breaking change during review.

vsprintf: Use %p4chR instead of %p4cn for reading data in reversed host ordering
The generic FourCC format always prints the data using the big endian order. It is generic because it allows to read the data using a custom ordering. The current code uses "n" for reading data in the reverse host ordering. It makes the 4 variants [hnbl] consistent with the generic printing of IPv4 addresses. Unfortunately, it creates confusion on big endian systems. For example, it shows the data &(u32)0x67503030 as %p4cn 00Pg (0x30305067) But people expect that the ordering stays the same. The network ordering is a big-endian ordering. The problem is that the semantic is not the same. The modifiers affect the output ordering of IPv4 addresses while they affect the reading order in case of FourCC code. Avoid the confusion by replacing the "n" modifier with "hR", aka reverse host ordering. It is inspired by the existing %p[mM]R printf format.

lib/vsprintf: Add support for generic FourCCs by extending %p4cc
%p4cc is designed for DRM/V4L2 FourCCs with their specific quirks, but it's useful to be able to print generic 4-character codes formatted as an integer. Extend it to add format specifiers for printing generic 32-bit FourCCs with various endian semantics: %p4ch Host byte order %p4cn Network byte order %p4cl Little-endian %p4cb Big-endian The endianness determines how bytes are interpreted as a u32, and the FourCC is then always printed MSByte-first (this is the opposite of V4L/DRM FourCCs). This covers most practical cases, e.g. %p4cn would allow printing LSByte-first FourCCs stored in host endian order (other than the hex form being in character order, not the integer value).

- The 6 patch series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from
Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect. - The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy.

This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy.

RCU pull request for v6.15
This pull request contains the following branches:
docs.2025.02.04a:
- Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst.
- Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr().
- Document self-propagating callbacks.
- Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering.
- Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header.
- Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text.
- Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives.
srcu.2025.02.05a:
- Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to
srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock at the
cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu(). Moreover, by
returning the percpu offset of the counter at srcu_read_lock_fast()
time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can save extra pointer dereferencing,
which makes it faster than srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite().
srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace
rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible.
torture.2025.02.05a:
- Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test.
- Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying boosting
tests when building rcutorture as built-in.
- Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end of
failure/close-call results.
- Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence number
in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point.
- Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length.
- Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool.
- Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified.
- Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU
uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig
for SRCU lockdep testing.
misc.2025.03.04a:
- Split rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() mask parameter and use for tracing.
- Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes().
- Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detection.
- Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall().
- Print segment lengths in show_rcu_nocb_gp_state().
- Make RCU watch ct_kernel_exit_state() warning.
- Flush console log from kernel_power_off().
- rcutorture: Allow a negative value for nfakewriters.
- rcu: Update TREE05.boot to test normal synchronize_rcu().
- rcu: Use _full() API to debug synchronize_rcu().
lazypreempt.2025.03.04a: Make RCU handle PREEMPT_LAZY better:
- Fix header guard for rcu_all_qs().
- rcu: Rename PREEMPT_AUTO to PREEMPT_LAZY.
- Update __cond_resched comment about RCU quiescent states.
- Handle unstable rdp in rcu_read_unlock_strict().
- Handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=y.
- osnoise: Provide quiescent states.
- Adjust rcutorture with possible PREEMPT_RCU=n && PREEMPT_COUNT=y
combination.
- Limit PREEMPT_RCU configurations.
- Make rcutorture senario TREE07 and senario TREE10 use PREEMPT_LAZY=y.

It has been a reasonably busy cycle for docs...
- Significant changes throughout the tree to bring Python code up to
current standards and raise the minimum Python required to 3.9. Much of
this is preparatory to replacing the ancient Perl scripts/kernel-doc
horror with a slightly less horrifying Python implementation, expected
for 6.16.
- Update the minimum Sphinx required to 3.4.3, allowing us to remove a
bunch of older compatibility code.
- Rework and improve the generation of the ABI documentation.
(All of the above done by Mauro)
- Lots of translation updates. Alex Shi and Yanteng Si are taking on
responsibility for the Chinese translations going forward; that work will
still get to you via docs-next
- Try to standardize the format for indicating a developer's affiliation in
commit tags.
- Clarify the TAB's role in CoC enforcement actions.
- Try to spell out the rules for when a commit tag can name another
developer without their explicit permission.
Plus lots of other typo fixes and updates.

xarray: add xas_try_split() to split a multi-index entry
Patch series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split", v10.
This patchset adds a new buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) large folio
split from a order-n folio to order-m with m < n. It reduces
1. the total number of after-split folios from 2^(n-m) to n-m+1;
2. the amount of memory needed for multi-index xarray split from 2^(n/6-m/6) to
n/6-m/6, assuming XA_CHUNK_SHIFT=6;
3. keep more large folios after a split from all order-m folios to
order-(n-1) to order-m folios.
For example, to split an order-9 to order-0, folio split generates 10 (or
11 for anonymous memory) folios instead of 512, allocates 1 xa_node
instead of 8, and leaves 1 order-8, 1 order-7, ..., 1 order-1 and 2
order-0 folios (or 4 order-0 for anonymous memory) instead of 512 order-0
folios.
Instead of duplicating existing split_huge_page*() code, __folio_split()
is introduced as the shared backend code for both
split_huge_page_to_list_to_order() and folio_split(). __folio_split() can
support both uniform split and buddy allocator like (or non-uniform)
split. All existing split_huge_page*() users can be gradually converted
to use folio_split() if possible. In this patchset, I converted
truncate_inode_partial_folio() to use folio_split().
xfstests quick group passed for both tmpfs and xfs. I also
semi-replicated Hugh's test[12] and ran it without any issue for almost 24
hours.
This patch (of 8):
A preparation patch for non-uniform folio split, which always split a
folio into half iteratively, and minimal xarray entry split.
Currently, xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() always split all slots from a
multi-index entry. They cost the same number of xa_node as the
to-be-split slots. For example, to split an order-9 entry, which takes
2^(9-6)=8 slots, assuming XA_CHUNK_SHIFT is 6 (!CONFIG_BASE_SMALL), 8
xa_node are needed. Instead xas_try_split() is intended to be used
iteratively to split the order-9 entry into 2 order-8 entries, then split
one order-8 entry, based on the given index, to 2 order-7 entries, ...,
and split one order-1 entry to 2 order-0 entries. When splitting the
order-6 entry and a new xa_node is needed, xas_try_split() will try to
allocate one if possible. As a result, xas_try_split() would only need 1
xa_node instead of 8.
When a new xa_node is needed during the split, xas_try_split() can try to
allocate one but no more. -ENOMEM will be return if a node cannot be
allocated. -EINVAL will be return if a sibling node is split or cascade
split happens, where two or more new nodes are needed, and these are not
supported by xas_try_split().
xas_split_alloc() and xas_split() split an order-9 to order-0:

refcount: provide ops for cases when object's memory can be reused
For speculative lookups where a successful inc_not_zero() pins the object,
but where we still need to double check if the object acquired is indeed
the one we set out to acquire (identity check), needs this validation to
happen *after* the increment. Similarly, when a new object is initialized
and its memory might have been previously occupied by another object, all
stores to initialize the object should happen *before* refcount
initialization.
Notably SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU is one such an example when this ordering is
required for reference counting.
Add refcount_{add|inc}_not_zero_acquire() to guarantee the proper ordering
between acquiring a reference count on an object and performing the
identity check for that object.
Add refcount_set_release() to guarantee proper ordering between stores
initializing object attributes and the store initializing the refcount.
refcount_set_release() should be done after all other object attributes
are initialized. Once refcount_set_release() is called, the object should
be considered visible to other tasks even if it was not yet added into an
object collection normally used to discover it. This is because other
tasks might have discovered the object previously occupying the same
memory and after memory reuse they can succeed in taking refcount for the
new object and start using it.
Object reuse example to consider:
consumer:
obj = lookup(collection, key);
if (!refcount_inc_not_zero_acquire(&obj->ref))
return;
if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* identity check */
put_ref(obj);
return;
}
use(obj->value);
producer:
remove(collection, obj->key);
if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref))
return;
obj->key = KEY_INVALID;
free(obj);
obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */
obj->key = new_key;
obj->value = new_value;
refcount_set_release(obj->ref, 1);
add(collection, new_key, obj);
refcount_{add|inc}_not_zero_acquire() is required to prevent the following
reordering when refcount_inc_not_zero() is used instead:
consumer:
obj = lookup(collection, key);
if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* reordered identity check */
put_ref(obj);
return;
}
producer:
remove(collection, obj->key);
if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref))
return;
obj->key = KEY_INVALID;
free(obj);
obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */
obj->key = new_key;
obj->value = new_value;
refcount_set_release(obj->ref, 1);
add(collection, new_key, obj);
if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&obj->ref))
return;
use(obj->value); /* USING WRONG OBJECT */
refcount_set_release() is required to prevent the following reordering
when refcount_set() is used instead:
consumer:
obj = lookup(collection, key);
producer:
remove(collection, obj->key);
if (!refcount_dec_and_test(&obj->ref))
return;
obj->key = KEY_INVALID;
free(obj);
obj = malloc(); /* obj is reused */
obj->key = new_key; /* new_key == old_key */
refcount_set(obj->ref, 1);
if (!refcount_inc_not_zero_acquire(&obj->ref))
return;
if (READ_ONCE(obj->key) != key) { /* pass since new_key == old_key */
put_ref(obj);
return;
}
use(obj->value); /* USING STALE obj->value */
obj->value = new_value; /* reordered store */
add(collection, key, obj);

docs: Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr()
