mainly the avoidance of GFP_KERNEL allocations when the caller asked for
GFP_NOFS or GFP_NOIO.
- The 3 patch series "mm/kmemleak: avoid soft lockup when scanning task
stacks" from Breno Leitao avoids a soft lockup watchdog trigger from the
kmemleak scanning code in extreme situations.

collection of unrelated cleanups to the page_owner code. For some
reason lots of people have been working on the page_owner code this
cycle.
- The 4 patch series "mm: convert to walk_page_range_vma() to eliminate
find_vma()" from Kefeng Wang simplifies and accelerates the page walking
library function.
- The 3 patch series "mm/migrate: preparatory cleanups for batch copy

filtering to page_owner in order to reduce the sometimes vast amount of
output it can produce.
- The 19 patch series "mm: Refactor bootmem gigantic hugepage
allocation" from Muchun Song is a "set of fixes and preparatory cleanups
around bootmem HugeTLB handling, sparse initialization ordering, and
related vmemmap setup".
- The 4 patch series "mm/zsmalloc: reduce lock contention in zs_free()"
from Wenchao Hao reduces lock contention in zs_free(), which dominates
the unmap path under memory pressure on Android (LMK kills) and on x86
servers running zswap-heavy workloads. Up to 1.83x improvement in
microbenchmarking.
- The 2 patch series "move alloc_tag.c file under mm/" from Suren
Baghdasaryan does that.
- The 6 patch series "samples/damon: handle damon_{start,stop}()
failures" from SJ Park fixes improper handling of damon_start(),
damon_stop(), and damon_call() failures across DAMON sample modules to
prevent potential memory leaks, operation disruptions and use-after-free
bugs.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: kobject_del() directories that
users can create/remove" from SJ Park resolves an issue where delayed
sysfs directory removal under CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE causes
creation failures due to duplicate directory names by adding missing
kobject_del() calls before creating new directories.
- The 3 patch series "mm: cleanup clear_not_present_full_ptes()" from
David Hildenbrand cleans up the core pte handling code.
- The 3 patch series "selftests/damon: misc fixes for test bugs" from
Kunwu Chan fixes several bugs in the DAMON selftests.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/damon: fix memcg_path staging handling"
from Cheng Nie fixes a bug in _damon_sysfs.py for damos_filter
memcg_path setup, and adds a test case for it in sysfs.py.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/damon: test kdamond refresh_ms" from
Ruslan Valiyev introduces selftest coverage for DAMON's refresh_ms sysfs
feature by updating the test control module and verifying that scheme
stats update automatically without manual intervention.
- The 5 patch series "mm/damon: five misc fixups" from Akinobu Mita
contains miscellaneous DAMON fixups.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/core: detect internal variation above
max_nr_regions/2" from Jiayuan Chen fixes DAMON's region splitting
behavior when region counts exceed half the maximum budget by
dynamically scaling down the split fraction as the limit approaches,
preventing large regions from staying un-split, and adds corresponding
KUnit test coverage.
- The 6 patch series "mm: preparatory patches for PMD level swap
entries" from Usama Arif refactors and cleans up PMD softleaf helpers,
call sites, and architecture flags to lay the groundwork for a follow-up
series that introduces PMD page table swap entries.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: update, optimize, and clean up doc,
tests, and code" from SJ Park updates DAMON design and ABI
documentation, expands unit and selftest coverage, optimizes
damon_commit_target_regions(), and cleans up recently added sysfs
interface code for better readability.
- The 2 patch series "mm/vmpressure: reduce CPU, memory and code
overhead on cgroup v2" from Usama Arif optimizes vmpressure() by
skipping unnecessary work on cgroup v2 for userspace event notifications
and refactors v1-only eventfd handling into mm/memcontrol-v1.c to reduce
memory overhead and code complexity.
- The 10 patch series "selftests/mm: refactor pkey helpers and fix mmap
error handling" from Hongfu Li refactors pkeys shared tracing and
assertion helpers into a common file, unifies protection key selftests
to use consistent diagnostic logging and assertions, and enforces
standardized MAP_FAILED return checks for mmap() calls across the tests.
- The 18 patch series "mm/damon: optimize out nr_accesses_bp" from SJ
Park replaces the error-prone, continuously updated nr_accesses_bp field
in damon_region with an on-demand moving sum function
(damon_nr_accesses_mvsum()), reducing structure memory overhead and
avoiding state corruption bugs.
- The 6 patch series "Open HugeTLB allocation routine for more generic
use" from Ackerley Tng decouples HugeTLB folio allocation from VMA
dependencies by introducing hugetlb_alloc_folio(), enabling subsystems
like guest_memfd to allocate HugeTLB folios without standard VMA
reservations or pseudo-VMAs.
- The 3 patch series "mm/damon: provide pseudo moving sum probe_hits"
from SJ Park integrates DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter into the
pseudo moving sum infrastructure, enabling real-time, online monitoring
without waiting for full aggregation intervals.
- The 18 patch series "mm: Some cleanups for page allocator APIs" from
Brendan Jackman simplifies and refactors the page allocator entry points
and flags by unifying allocation paths, adding internal alloc_flags
arguments, and eliminating redundant __ prefixed alloc_pages variants.
- The 5 patch series "Fix incorrect access of hugetlb pte entries" from
Dev Jain enforces the consistent use of huge_ptep_get() instead of
ptep_get() for HugeTLB entries and fixes an unaligned address issue in
arm64's huge_ptep_get() implementation.
- The 8 patch series "mm/damon: validate all parameters in the core"
from SJ Park consolidates parameter validation into the DAMON core
specifically within damon_start() and damon_commit_ctx() to centralize
error checking, eliminate caller-side redundant checks and to improve
maintenance efficiency.
- The 3 patch series "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and
cleanup issues" from Yichong Chen renames is_need() to filter_record()
for clearer return semantics, fixes per-record allocation memory leaks
and bounds output copies in search_pattern() to address an existing
buffer issue.
- The 4 patch series "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" from
Jiayuan Chen mitigates a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is
removed while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous
reclaim.
- The 5 patch series "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for
unrecoverable pages" from Breno Leitao introduces an opt-in
vm.panic_on_unrecoverable_memory_failure sysctl that immediately panics
the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in kernel-owned pages to
preserve error context and prevent delayed, silent data corruption.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}()
for simple error handling" from SJ Park refactors the DAMON core API
functions to guarantee that all contexts are fully stopped when
damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit() fail, eliminating the
need for complex and error-prone caller-side cleanup code.
- The 5 patch series "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio
split" from Zi Yan adds checks to ensure tail_page->private is zero when
freeing compound or high-order pages and when promoting tail pages
during large folio splits. By validating these fields at free and split
time, it allows the removal of redundant private field clearing inside
prep_compound_tail().
- The 4 patch series "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio
reuse paths" from Barry Song eliminates redundant lru_add_drain() calls
in wp_can_reuse_anon_folio() and do_swap_page() to reduce LRU lock
contention and system overhead.
By validating folio refcounts against the LRU cache before draining
and removing unnecessary drains in the swap path, it achieves up to a
30.5% reduction in drain calls during heavy swap workloads.
- The 3 patch series "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" from
Jianyue Wu reorganizes folio LRU and swap code by relocating
page-cluster state to mm/swap_state.c, renaming mm/swap.c to mm/folio.c,
and moving MM-internal reclaim declarations into mm/internal.h.
- The 15 patch series "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest
memory" from Kiryl Shutsemau adds userfaultfd support for tracking the
working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and
reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage.
- The 10 patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part
2)" from David Hildenbrand removes the remaining pieces of
CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, performing some smaller cleanups around
freeing of reserved vmemmap pages on the way.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter
commits" from SJ Park ensures that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter
is properly updated when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime,
matching the behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and
renames existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- The 3 patch series "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm"
from xu xin resolves a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck
where thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended
lock contention. By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap
walk, it reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms
down to under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes
under memory pressure.
- The 3 patch series "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h"
from Mike Rapoport splits declarations related to mm_init, memblock,
vmalloc and sparse into new headers.
- The 2 patch series "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()"
from xu xin applies the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm()
to collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling. It hoists loop-invariant address
initialization and restricts the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to
a targeted page offset range, reducing redundant checks and improving
lookup efficiency.
- The 3 patch series "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and
KSM tests" from Sayali Patil fixes issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM
selftest categories that can report failures when the prerequisites for
the tests are not satisfied.
- The 19 patch series "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only
monitoring" from SJ Park introduces attribute-weighted region management
in DAMON, allowing users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as
page sizes or cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable
access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted
probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused
workloads.
- The 8 patch series "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for
userfaultfd-backed mappings" from Stanislav Kinsburskii extends
hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the
mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions
while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- The 33 patch series "mm: make VMA page offset handling more
consistent" from Lorenzo Stoakes cleans up and standardizes how
vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and
anonymous mappings in the kernel.
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming
rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will
unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios.
- The 3 patch series "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks"
from Usama Arif addresses kernel panics and state corruption caused by
MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations.
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly
recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a
standard migration entry.
- The 5 patch series "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" from Dev Jain
refactors try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree,
and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the
structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping.
- The 4 patch series "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and
additions" from Song Hu fixes typos and fills in missing entries in the
DAMON sysfs ABI document.
- The 10 patch series "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs"
from Gregory Price introduces an atomic sysfs state attribute and
supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when
offlining and removing entire memory regions.
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- The 13 patch series "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t"
from Lorenzo Stoakes continues transitioning the kernel from the
deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management
infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- The 2 patch series "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" from
xu xin refactors mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify
duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds
code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- The 10 patch series "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields"
from SJ Park cleans up DAMON core structures by consistently marking
internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper
direct access from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- The 6 patch series "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL
de-ref and races" from SJ Park addresses potential infinite loops, NULL
dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON.
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on
RT/UP" from Brendan Jackman fixes an NMI safety flaw in
__free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT
kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated
migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- The 4 patch series "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent
cleanups" from Brendan Jackman cleans up and updates page allocator
nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON()
assertions in allocation paths.
- The 3 patch series "mm/mseal: further cleanups" from Lorenzo Stoakes
refactors and simplifies the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates
mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to
current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- The 4 patch series "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up
per-node proactive reclaim" from Ridong Chen resolves reclaim behavior
bugs and cleans up function parameters across memory reclaim paths.
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of
collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask
parameter from __node_reclaim().
- The 6 patch series "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" from Kefeng Wang
cleans up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes
the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as
non-resident.
- The 2 patch series "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants"
from Kiryl Shutsemau implements two trivial cleanups in the folio split
API.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit
exec expectation bugs" from SJ Park resolves minor operational and
testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the
damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation
and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test
failure handling.
- The 3 patch series "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" from Jinjiang Tu
cleans up and refactors stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- The 3 patch series "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" from Dev Jain
extends batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities
to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- The 3 patch series "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up
early_ioremap_reset()" from Sang-Heon Jeon clarifies and cleans up the
architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and
__late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset().
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls
in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- The 4 patch series "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" from
Johannes Weiner addresses severe performance regressions, swap storms,
and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure
in Meta production.
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- The 2 patch series "zram: lockmap tweaks" from Sebastian Siewior
optimizes and fixes lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolating lock classes across multiple instances.
It reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances
with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key
to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram
devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

that immediately panics the kernel on unrecoverable memory errors in
kernel-owned pages to preserve error context and prevent delayed,
silent data corruption
- "mm/damon: refactor damon_{start,stop,commit}() for simple error
handling" (SJ Park)
Refactor the DAMON core API functions to guarantee that all contexts
are fully stopped when damon_start(), damon_stop(), or damon_commit()
fail, eliminating the need for complex and error-prone caller-side
cleanup code
- "Keep tail page private zero at free and folio split" (Zi Yan)

pages on the way.
- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)
Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
contention.
By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
memory pressure.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers
- "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)
Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling.
It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
Patil)
Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)
Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
attribute-focused workloads.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(Stanislav Kinsburskii)
Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
folios.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)
Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()
properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present
THP or a standard migration entry.
- "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain)
Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb,
anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated
functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous
large folio unmapping.
- "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu)
Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI
document
- "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price)
Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM
infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing
entire memory regions
By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it
enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward
compatibility.
- "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type
to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure.
It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(),
unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like
mlock, mprotect, and mremap.
- "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin)
Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate
slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code
documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must
remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions.
- "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park)
Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only
fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access
from outer layers.
It enforces encapsulation across core structures including
damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to
interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct
members.
- "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races"
(SJ Park)
Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race
conditions identified in DAMON
It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a
NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring
accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races.
- "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan
Jackman)
Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages
on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks
via non-PCP or isolated migration paths.
It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation
risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory
hotplug or large allocation frees.
- "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan
Jackman)
Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and
debug assertions.
It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming
convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from
high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete
VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths.
- "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API
boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity.
It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a
dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO,
eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only
to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no
functional changes intended.
- "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive
reclaim" (Ridong Chen)
Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across
memory reclaim paths
It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so
unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page
cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead
of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete
gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim().
- "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang)
Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it
removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP
pages as non-resident.
- "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau)
Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API
- "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation
bugs" (SJ Park)
Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by
Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent
occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses
in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling.
- "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu)
Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags
without altering functionality.
It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag
bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*()
helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling.
- "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain)
Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within
userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching
capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed().
This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in
try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control
flow and complexity.
- "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()"
(Sang-Heon Jeon)
Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of
__late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after
early_ioremap_reset()
It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset()
must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset
calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures.
- "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner)
Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious
OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta
production
It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation
requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at
pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather
than spinning unproductively.
- "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior)
Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating
per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances
This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map
instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic
lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports
when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems.

s390/Kconfig: Select ARCH_SUPPORTS_CFI
With all prerequisites in place select ARCH_SUPPORTS_CFI. Note that this support is supposed to work with the generic kCFI support which is provided by clang. This comes with a couple of limitations: The generic kCFI implementation does not generate a .kcfi_traps section, nor is a special instruction used in case a checksum mismatch is detected. This means in case of checksum mismatch the kernel just crashes. It should be quite easy to tell by the surrounding code that a crash happened because of a checksum mismatch. If clang and/or gcc provide a .kcfi_traps section it will be possible to print proper CFI messages instead of just crashing the kernel (enable ARCH_USES_CFI_TRAPS). In addition this also means that CFI_PERMISSIVE does not work. Even if the option is selected the kernel will crash in case of checksum mismatch. However it seems to be acceptable to enable kCFI support to the kernel now even if it is not perfect. Later clang and gcc extensions are required to improve this. As of now a crash caused by a CFI failure looks like this: illegal operation: 0001 ilc:1 [#1]SMP Modules linked in: bpf_testmod(OE) CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 92 Comm: test_progs Tainted: G OE 7.2.0-rc4-00021-gc35ed7a1ca22-dirty #3 PREEMPTLAZY Tainted: [O]=OOT_MODULE, [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE Hardware name: IBM 3931 A01 703 (KVM/Linux) Krnl PSW : 0704e00180000000 00000166d4853a0a (bpf_task_work_callback+0x176/0x290) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:3 CC:2 PM:0 RI:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0400000069b02e96 000001665471856c 0000000084dc1000 000000008084da58 000000008084da60 000000005ff492bf 0000000000000000 00000000809de300 fffffffffff7ffff 00000000000a0337 00000000809e4d00 000000008437b100 00000000801bc288 00000000801bc280 00000166d48538fc 000000e6d502ba90 Krnl Code: 00000166d48539fa: e320c0400004 lg %r2,64(%r12) 00000166d4853a00: e340c0480004 lg %r4,72(%r12) *00000166d4853a06: a7640001 brc 6,00000166d4853a08 >00000166d4853a0a: 0de1 basr %r14,%r1 00000166d4853a0c: e300b6580095 llh %r0,1624(%r11) 00000166d4853a12: ec040009027e cij %r0,2,4,00000166d4853a24 00000166d4853a18: a70affff ahi %r0,-1 00000166d4853a1c: 4000b658 sth %r0,1624(%r11) Call Trace: [<00000166d4853a0a>] bpf_task_work_callback+0x176/0x290 ...

mm: decouple protnone helpers from CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
Patch series "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory", v10. This series adds userfaultfd support for tracking the working set of VM guest memory, so a VMM can identify hot pages and reclaim cold ones to tiered or remote storage. This patch (of 15): pte_protnone() and pmd_protnone() detect present-but-inaccessible page table entries. This capability is useful beyond NUMA balancing -- for example, userfaultfd working set tracking uses protnone PTEs to track page access without unmapping pages. Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE to decouple the protnone PTE infrastructure from CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING. The six architectures that support protnone PTEs (x86_64, arm64, powerpc, s390, riscv, loongarch) now select this option, and CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING depends on it. No functional change -- the same set of architectures continues to have working protnone support, but the infrastructure is now available independently of NUMA balancing.

mm: rename ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION to ARCH_HAS_PMD_SOFTLEAVES
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION gates PMD-level migration entries. PMD-level device-private entries use the same migration mechanism and therefore require the same architecture support. Upcoming PMD-level swap entries can use the same PMD softleaf helpers without depending on page migration, so rename the architecture gate to CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMD_SOFTLEAVES. This describes the PMD entry capability rather than one current user of it. This is a pure rename: the set of selecting architectures (x86, arm64, s390, riscv, loongarch, and powerpc on PPC_BOOK3S_64) and the gating semantics are unchanged. No functional change intended.

s390: Select SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC and DMA_COHERENT_POOL
SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC allows the SWIOTLB to grow on demand when the initial bounce-buffer area is exhausted, instead of relying only on the pool reserved at boot. This improves behavior under sustained I/O pressure. In testing, exhaustion of the initial SWIOTLB area was observed under real workloads such as large file transfers and package installation workloads, where continued availability of bounce buffering was needed to avoid guest-visible I/O stalls or failures. When the current SWIOTLB capacity is exhausted, the dynamic expansion path schedules asynchronous pool growth and then attempts immediate non-blocking allocation of transient bounce-buffer memory. In that path, the current implementation uses the generic DMA coherent atomic pool for transient bounce-buffer allocations. Selecting DMA_COHERENT_POOL together with SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC on s390 makes that atomic fallback path available. The coherent atomic pool is a generic DMA facility. By default, its size is 128 KiB per 1 GiB of memory, with a minimum default size of 128 KiB, and it can be adjusted with the coherent_pool= kernel parameter. The pool itself can be exhausted, so this improves behavior under pressure, but does not guarantee that DMA mappings will always succeed. Select both options from s390 Kconfig so this support is available by default on s390 systems.

s390: Revert support for DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS
load_unaligned_zeropad() reads eight bytes from unaligned addresses and may cross page boundaries. It handles exceptions which may happen if reading from the second page results in an exception. For pages which are donated to the Ultravisor for secure execution purposes the do_secure_storage_access() exception handler however does not handle such exceptions correctly. Such an exception may result in an endless exception loop which will never be resolved. An attempt to fix this [1] turned out to be not sufficient. For now revert load_unaligned_zeropad() until this problem has been resolved in a proper way. Note that the implementation of load_unaligned_zeropad() itself is correct. The revert is just a temporary workaround until there is complete fix for secure storage access exceptions. [1] commit |

Merge branch 'rust-for-s390' into features

The series wires up s390 as a Rust-capable 64-bit architecture, adds the missing assembly interfaces needed by Rust for WARN/BUG reporting and for static branches, adjusts bindgen parameters to avoid repr layout conflicts caused by packed and aligned s390 structures, and fixes issues discovered during testing. s390 currently requires rustc with support for -Zpacked-stack, and the minimum tool version gating is adjusted accordingly.

s390: Enable Rust support
Enable building Rust code on s390 by wiring the architecture into the kernel Rust infrastructure. Add s390 to the Rust arch support documentation, provide the s390 Rust target and required compiler flags, and set the bindgen target for arch/s390. Adjust the Rust target generation and minimum rustc version gating so the s390 setup is handled explicitly. The Rust toolchain uses the "s390x" triple naming for the 64 bit target. Rust support is currently incompatible with CONFIG_EXPOLINE, which relies on compiler support for the -mindirect-branch= and -mfunction_return= options. Therefore, select HAVE_RUST only when EXPOLINE is disabled.

s390: Remove GENERIC_LOCKBREAK Kconfig option
s390 selects GENERIC_LOCKBREAK if PREEMPT is enabled. Reason is a historic 18 years old commit [1] which fixed a compile error for PREEMPT enabled kernels. Back than only PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels were considered to be important for s390. PREEMPT should "just work". However, since recently PREEMPT is always enabled [2], which also causes GENERIC_LOCKBREAK to be always enabled. For some workloads this leads to massive performance degradation; e.g. a simple kernel compile on machines with many CPUs may take up to four times longer. To fix this just remove the GENERIC_LOCKBREAK from s390's Kconfig, since the compile error from 18 years ago does not exist anymore. [1] commit |

s390/debug: Add s390dbf kernel parameter
Problem determination using s390dbf logging sometimes requires changing the default logging level or log area size. While this is possible using sysfs interfaces, there is no easy way to adjust these parameters for early boot code that emits logs before userspace is available. Add an s390dbf kernel parameter to address this shortcoming. The parameter can be used to specify log level and area size (in units of pages). A level of '-' turns logging off for an area. Logs can be identified by name or a shell-style pattern. Parameter format: s390dbf=<name|pattern>:[<level>|-]:[<pages>][,...] Example: s390dbf=cio*:6:128,sclp_err::2 Specified parameters are applied immediately during debug area registration for regular log areas. For early, static debug areas, log levels are changed during early_param() parsing, while size changes are applied at arch_initcall-time.

mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
Patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE and cleanup CONFIG_MIGRATION". While working on memory hotplug code cleanups, I realized that CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is not really required anymore. Changing that revealed some rather nasty looking CONFIG_MIGRATION handling. Let's clean that up by introducing a dedicated CONFIG_NUMA_MIGRATION option and reducing the dependencies that CONFIG_MIGRATION has. This patch (of 2): All architectures that select CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE also select CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG. So we can just remove CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. For CONFIG_MIGRATION, make it depend on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE instead, and make CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE select CONFIG_MIGRATION (just like CONFIG_CMA and CONFIG_COMPACTION already do). We'll clean up CONFIG_MIGRATION next.

integrity: Eliminate weak definition of arch_get_secureboot()
security/integrity/secure_boot.c contains a single __weak function,
which breaks recordmcount when building with clang:
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=powerpc LLVM=1 ppc64_defconfig security/integrity/secure_boot.o
Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
security/integrity/secure_boot.o: failed
Introduce a Kconfig symbol, CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_GET_SECUREBOOT, to indicate
that an architecture provides a definition of arch_get_secureboot().
Provide a static inline stub when this symbol is not defined to achieve
the same effect as the __weak function, allowing secure_boot.c to be
removed altogether. Move the s390 definition of arch_get_secureboot()
out of the CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE block to ensure it is always available, as
it does not actually depend on KEXEC_FILE.

s390/pgtable: Add s390 support for page table check
Add page table check hooks into routines that modify user page tables. Unlike other architectures s390 does not have means to distinguish between kernel and user page table entries. Rely on the fact the page table check infrastructure itself operates on non-init_mm memory spaces only. Use the provided mm_struct to verify that the memory space is not init_mm (aka not the kernel memory space) indeed. That check is supposed to be succeeded already (on some code paths even twice). If the passed memory space by contrast is init_mm that would be an unexpected semantical change in generic code, so do VM_BUG_ON() in such case. Unset _SEGMENT_ENTRY_READ bit to indicate that pmdp_invalidate() was applied against a huge PMD and is going to be updated by set_pmd_at() shortly. The hook pmd_user_accessible_page() should skip such entries until that, otherwise the page table accounting falls apart and BUG_ON() gets hit as result. The invalidated huge PMD entry should not be confused with a PROT_NONE entry as reported by pmd_protnone(), though the entry characteristics exactly match: _SEGMENT_ENTRY_LARGE is set while _SEGMENT_ENTRY_READ is unset. Since pmd_protnone() implementation depends on NUMA_BALANCING configuration option, it should not be used in pmd_user_accessible_page() check, which is expected to be CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING-agnostic. Nevertheless, an invalidated huge PMD is technically still pmd_protnone() entry and it should not break other code paths once _SEGMENT_ENTRY_READ is unset. As of now, all pmd_protnone() checks are done under page table locks or exercise GUP-fast and HMM code paths, which are expected to be safe against concurrent page table updates. Alternative approach would be using the last remaining unused PMD entry bit 0x800 to indicate that pmdp_invalidate() was called on a PMD. That would allow avoiding collisions with pmd_protnone() handling code paths, but saving the bit is more preferable way to go.

Loongarch:
- Add more CPUCFG mask bits. - Improve feature detection. - Add lazy load support for FPU and binary translation (LBT) register state. - Fix return value for memory reads from and writes to in-kernel devices. - Add support for detecting preemption from within a guest. - Add KVM steal time test case to tools/selftests. ARM: - Add support for FEAT_IDST, allowing ID registers that are not implemented to be reported as a normal trap rather than as an UNDEF exception. - Add sanitisation of the VTCR_EL2 register, fixing a number of UXN/PXN/XN bugs in the process. - Full handling of RESx bits, instead of only RES0, and resulting in SCTLR_EL2 being added to the list of sanitised registers. - More pKVM fixes for features that are not supposed to be exposed to guests. - Make sure that MTE being disabled on the pKVM host doesn't give it the ability to attack the hypervisor. - Allow pKVM's host stage-2 mappings to use the Force Write Back version of the memory attributes by using the "pass-through' encoding. - Fix trapping of ICC_DIR_EL1 on GICv5 hosts emulating GICv3 for the guest. - Preliminary work for guest GICv5 support. - A bunch of debugfs fixes, removing pointless custom iterators stored in guest data structures. - A small set of FPSIMD cleanups. - Selftest fixes addressing the incorrect alignment of page allocation. - Other assorted low-impact fixes and spelling fixes. RISC-V: - Fixes for issues discoverd by KVM API fuzzing in kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_has_attr(), kvm_riscv_aia_imsic_rw_attr(), and kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_imsic_update() - Allow Zalasr, Zilsd and Zclsd extensions for Guest/VM - Transparent huge page support for hypervisor page tables - Adjust the number of available guest irq files based on MMIO register sizes found in the device tree or the ACPI tables - Add RISC-V specific paging modes to KVM selftests - Detect paging mode at runtime for selftests s390: - Performance improvement for vSIE (aka nested virtualization) - Completely new memory management. s390 was a special snowflake that enlisted help from the architecture's page table management to build hypervisor page tables, in particular enabling sharing the last level of page tables. This however was a lot of code (~3K lines) in order to support KVM, and also blocked several features. The biggest advantages is that the page size of userspace is completely independent of the page size used by the guest: userspace can mix normal pages, THPs and hugetlbfs as it sees fit, and in fact transparent hugepages were not possible before. It's also now possible to have nested guests and guests with huge pages running on the same host. - Maintainership change for s390 vfio-pci - Small quality of life improvement for protected guests x86: - Add support for giving the guest full ownership of PMU hardware (contexted switched around the fastpath run loop) and allowing direct access to data MSRs and PMCs (restricted by the vPMU model). KVM still intercepts access to control registers, e.g. to enforce event filtering and to prevent the guest from profiling sensitive host state. This is more accurate, since it has no risk of contention and thus dropped events, and also has significantly less overhead. For more information, see the commit message for merge commit |

s390/Kconfig: Define non-zero ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE
Define CONFIG_ILLEGAL_POINTER_VALUE to the eye-catching non-zero value of 0xdead000000000000, consistent with other architectures. Assert at compile-time that the poison pointers that include/linux/poison.h defines based on this illegal pointer are beyond the largest useful virtual addresses. Also, assert at compile-time that the range of poison pointers per include/linux/poison.h (currently a range of less than 0x10000 addresses) does not overlap with the range used for address handles for s390's non-MIO PCI instructions. This enables s390 to track the DMA mappings by the network stack's page_pool that was introduced with [0]. Other functional changes are not intended. Other archictectures have introduced this for various other reasons with commit |

s390: Add CC_HAS_ASM_IMMEDIATE_STRINGS
Upcoming changes to s390 specific inline assemblies require the usage of
strings as immediate input operands. This works only with gcc-9 and newer
compilers. With gcc-8 this leads to a compile error:
void bar(void) { asm volatile("" :: "i" ("foo")); }
Results in:
In function 'bar':
warning: asm operand 0 probably doesn't match constraints
asm volatile("" :: "i" ("foo"));
^~~
error: impossible constraint in 'asm'
Provide a CC_HAS_ASM_IMMEDIATE_STRINGS config option which allows to tell
if the compiler supports strings as immediate input operands.
Based on that conditional code can be provided.

s390/pci: Migrate s390 IRQ logic to IRQ domain API
s390 is one of the last architectures using the legacy API for setup and teardown of PCI MSI IRQs. Migrate the s390 IRQ allocation and teardown to the MSI parent domain API. For details, see: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221111120501.026511281@linutronix.de In detail, create an MSI parent domain for each PCI domain. When a PCI device sets up MSI or MSI-X IRQs, the library creates a per-device IRQ domain for this device, which is used by the device for allocating and freeing IRQs. The per-device domain delegates this allocation and freeing to the parent-domain. In the end, the corresponding callbacks of the parent domain are responsible for allocating and freeing the IRQs. The allocation is split into two parts: - zpci_msi_prepare() is called once for each device and allocates the required resources. On s390, each PCI function has its own airq vector and a summary bit, which must be configured once per function. This is done in prepare(). - zpci_msi_alloc() can be called multiple times for allocating one or more MSI/MSI-X IRQs. This creates a mapping between the virtual IRQ number in the kernel and the hardware IRQ number. Freeing is split into two counterparts: - zpci_msi_free() reverts the effects of zpci_msi_alloc() and - zpci_msi_teardown() reverts the effects of zpci_msi_prepare(). This is called once when all IRQs are freed before a device is removed. Since the parent domain in the end allocates the IRQs, the hwirq encoding must be unambiguous for all IRQs of all devices. This is achieved by encoding the hwirq using the devfn and the MSI index.

s390 updates for 6.19 merge window
- Provide a new interface for dynamic configuration and deconfiguration of hotplug memory, allowing with and without memmap_on_memory support.

s390: Add stackprotector support
Stackprotector support was previously unavailable on s390 because by
default compilers generate code which is not suitable for the kernel:
the canary value is accessed via thread local storage, where the address
of thread local storage is within access registers 0 and 1.
Using those registers also for the kernel would come with a significant
performance impact and more complicated kernel entry/exit code, since
access registers contents would have to be exchanged on every kernel entry
and exit.
With the upcoming gcc 16 release new compiler options will become available
which allow to generate code suitable for the kernel. [1]
Compiler option -mstack-protector-guard=global instructs gcc to generate
stackprotector code that refers to a global stackprotector canary value via
symbol __stack_chk_guard. Access to this value is guaranteed to occur via
larl and lgrl instructions.
Furthermore, compiler option -mstack-protector-guard-record generates a
section containing all code addresses that reference the canary value.
To allow for per task canary values the instructions which load the address
of __stack_chk_guard are patched so they access a lowcore field instead: a
per task canary value is available within the task_struct of each task, and
is written to the per-cpu lowcore location on each context switch.
Also add sanity checks and debugging option to be consistent with other
kernel code patching mechanisms.
Full debugging output can be enabled with the following kernel command line
options:
debug_stackprotector
bootdebug
ignore_loglevel
earlyprintk
dyndbg="file stackprotector.c +p"
Example debug output:
stackprot: 0000021e402d4eda: c010005a9ae3 -> c01f00070240
where "<insn address>: <old insn> -> <new insn>".

s390/percpu: Get rid of ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU
Since the rework of the kernel virtual address space [1] the module area
and the kernel image are within the same 4GB area. Therefore there is no
need for the weak per cpu workaround for modules anymore. Remove it.

s390: Remove compat support
There shouldn't be any 31 bit code around anymore that matters. Remove the compat layer support required to run 31 bit code. Reason for removal is code simplification and reduced test effort. Note that this comes without any deprecation warnings added to config options, or kernel messages, since most likely those would be ignored anyway. If it turns out there is still a reason to keep the compat layer this can be reverted at any time in the future.

s390: Disable ARCH_WANT_OPTIMIZE_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP
As reported by Luiz Capitulino enabling HVO on s390 leads to reproducible
crashes. The problem is that kernel page tables are modified without
flushing corresponding TLB entries.
Even if it looks like the empty flush_tlb_all() implementation on s390 is
the problem, it is actually a different problem: on s390 it is not allowed
to replace an active/valid page table entry with another valid page table
entry without the detour over an invalid entry. A direct replacement may
lead to random crashes and/or data corruption.
In order to invalidate an entry special instructions have to be used
(e.g. ipte or idte). Alternatively there are also special instructions
available which allow to replace a valid entry with a different valid
entry (e.g. crdte or cspg).
Given that the HVO code currently does not provide the hooks to allow for
an implementation which is compliant with the s390 architecture
requirements, disable ARCH_WANT_OPTIMIZE_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP again, which is
basically a revert of the original patch which enabled it.
Reported-by: Luiz Capitulino <luizcap@redhat.com>

A set of changes to consolidate the generic TIF bits accross architectures
All architectures define the same set of generic TIF bits. This makes it pointlessly hard to add a new generic TIF bit or to change an existing one. Provide a generic variant and convert the architectures which utilize the generic entry code over to use it. The TIF space is divided into 16 generic bits and 16 architecture specific bits, which turned out to provide enough space on both sides. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmjaP78THHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoTKyD/9NEg3DiN6aM959o1MhvhDk7jNdECXm QOvZ85wJYhCv3Pb7RSgMxJL/dR9aWV2b24TSzEeki0awbR4nPeUz82vExmgS7rWX 9rQLPrOZsrYd76IcAVoV5Ua/g48c+9TM8kLzoZFa9JEYMPmyTEiA3gy4bgab/aov L2b903ZrCNkWRKM1Wz5V8xdyPEzhE+cLhbWoPbeCqfzxqbv4+WWKQlPmqamQw+yq /61Xhq0tmx3+4hn1IB/Rc8yMTbAK0EwN7SHM+l7yaJ3ijlkGSele4S3mKAHv2I3c vODIFwdQ8pRbC1C5eMBnUKRm7Cmf+8CB3m+OIA5ghj10TPFiTUzQ6iG6nUSVniJm QB21LHYSWroeQBRibnT5k7RiW5QjtTQmcsjvO7S2rZ/7CkMr7LMu6kN1P0TSiOvc SKxs3MO72KaRU/JrEjLqvT2tvdpg2hpffg69U0jA1xCeFULE1jrqo3GwL8dPDk7z zKbC73JNg4QJDdi+hIn5nl0fRGVszLzkDum5eyCpCLY/W7BSiQ7q/ayzt9upsSOm uc7sqeIgelQMRDMoMNcQUsMnApT0JHOS74WQ03SfahZESj8eFoOb8pr7vaqu4lfi 6LV4fpwZPBTMDcQ36r2JLuUTqHNHNtWn4xXjQ72ngovIVUL9A2H0DqK+1JhLJ6yX tknZ9WVmWVf+JQ== =6L98 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'core-core-2025-09-29' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull TIF bit unification updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of changes to consolidate the generic TIF (thread info flag) bits accross architectures.
