 - 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,

 - 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.

   waiting for full aggregation intervals

 - "mm: Some cleanups for page allocator APIs" (Brendan Jackman)

   Simplify and refactor the page allocator entry points and flags by
   unifying allocation paths, adding internal alloc_flags arguments, and
   eliminating redundant __ prefixed alloc_pages variants.

 - "Fix incorrect access of hugetlb pte entries" (Dev Jain)

   Enforce 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

 - "mm/damon: validate all parameters in the core" (SJ Park)

   Consolidate 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

 - "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix filtering and cleanup issues" (Yichong
   Chen)

   Rename is_need() to filter_record() for clearer return semantics, fix
   per-record allocation memory leaks and bound output copies in
   search_pattern() to address an existing buffer issue

 - "memcg: bail out reclaim when memcg is dying" (Jiayuan Chen)

   Mitigate a system-wide stall which occurs when a cgroup is removed
   while one of its memory control files is doing synchronous reclaim

 - "mm/memory-failure: add panic option for unrecoverable pages" (Breno
   Leitao)

   Introduce 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

 - "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)

   Add 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()

 - "mm: drop redundant lru_add_drain in anon folio reuse paths" (Barry
   Song)

   Eliminate 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

 - "mm: clean up folio LRU and swap declarations" (Jianyue Wu)

   Reorganize 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.

 - "userfaultfd: working set tracking for VM guest memory" (Kiryl
   Shutsemau)

   Add 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

 - "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 2)" (David
   Hildenbrand)

   Remove the remaining pieces of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
   performing some smaller cleanups around freeing of reserved vmemmap
   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.

Merge tag 'net-next-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "One of the 'small improvements all over the place' releases for us.

  It's hard to draw any direct comparisons because summer vacations
  disrupted our patch processing (and presumably - generation) quite a
  bit.

  Quick and dirty count suggests we (Paolo and I) merged a very similar
  number of net (632) and net-next (648) patches. This is not telling
  the full story either because 1/3 to 1/2 of the net-next patches also
  *seem* like AI-driven low priority fixes, cleanups and clarifications.

  We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that
  we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run
  reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates
  some hallucinations. That said, in terms of review, the LLMs can only
  do so much.

  The sad truth is that our APIs (especially for rare events like PCIe
  errors, timeouts etc) have always been racy, and now LLMs don't let us
  ignore that. I expect our direction for the next release will be to
  tweak the reviews a little bit more, but start shifting focus to
  letting the LLMs take care of the busy work - managing patchwork,
  automating common process complaints, editing commit messages, and
  maybe applying patches which already got "reviewed-by" tags from
  people we trust...

3424d8c18a Generic entry code updates:
- Make syscall user dispatching configurable
 
     Not all architectures can makes use of syscall user dispatching. Allow
     them to disable the feature completely.
 
   - Consolidate stack randomization for the generic entry code and the
     architectures using it.
 
     Stack randomization on syscall entry was sprinkled throughout the
     architecture specific low level entry code and in some cases at the
     wrong points, e.g. before establishing state, which violates the
     non-instrumentable constraints of that code.
 
     Clean this up by integrating stack randomization into the generic entry
     code helpers so that it is invoked at the earliest possible point right
     after establishing state and converting all generic entry code using
     architecture over.
 
   - Clean up the syscall number handling in the generic entry code. It
     works correctly for architectures which have a separate return value
     storage in pt_regs, but fails to distinguish the case where user space
     handed in -1 as syscall number from the case where the entry code
     rejects it by returning -1 to the callers. Aside of that the return
     value functionality of those interfaces is not really intuitive.
 
     Fix this by separating the decision to reject a syscall (user dispatch,
     ptrace, seccomp ...) from the potential modification of the syscall
     number through these mechanisms.
 
     This solves most of the problems for architectures which do not have a
     separate return value storage in pt_regs except for the case where a
     tracepoint has a BPF script or a probe attached which overwrite both
     the syscall number and the return value. But that's a problem which
     cannot be solved in the generic code, that only can be addressed by
     separating the storage model in the affected architectures.

fd8756fa14 net: af_unix: useful handling of LSM denials on SCM_RIGHTS
Right now if some LSM such as Smack denies an AF_UNIX socket peer to
receive an SCM_RIGHTS fd, the SCM_RIGHTS fd array will be cut short at
that point, and MSG_CTRUNC is set on return of recvmsg(). This is
highly problematic behaviour, because it leaves the receiver
wondering what happened. As per man page MSG_CTRUNC is supposed to
indicate that the control buffer was sized too short, but suddenly
a permission error might result in the exact same flag being set.
Moreover, the receiver has no chance to determine how many fds got
originally sent and how many were suppressed.[1]

Add a SO_RIGHTS_NOTRUNC option to UNIX sockets to enable more useful
handling of LSM denials when receiving SCM_RIGHTS messages: instead of
truncating the message at the first blocked fd, keep every fd slot
and store the LSM errno in the blocked slot. The socket option is
inherited by the child accept() socket if set on the listen() socket.

a71638ecc6 sparc/mm: drop custom pte_clear_not_present_full()
Patch series "mm: cleanup clear_not_present_full_ptes()", v2.

While doing some review, I stumbled over clear_not_present_full_ptes() and
concluded that it needs some love.

Let's remove pte_clear_not_present_full() and cleanup
clear_not_present_full_ptes(), renaming it to clear_non_present_ptes().


This patch (of 3):

On sparc64, pte_clear_not_present_full() nowadays does a simple
__set_pte_at().  In __set_pte_at() -> maybe_tlb_batch_add(), we check
pte_accessible() to see whether to call tlb_batch_add().

However, non-present PTEs are surely not accessible, so tlb_batch_add() is
never called and the "full" parameter is irrelevant.

Let's drop the helper and just let common code do a pte_clear().

pte_clear() on sparc64 maps to set_pte_at()->set_ptes()->__set_pte_at()
... so it ends up calling the same function, just with "full=0".

Given that "full" is irrelevant, there is no change.

We added pte_clear_not_present_full() for sparc64 in commit 90f08e399d
("sparc: mmu_gather rework"), and I suspect that it was already not
required back then.

dfc256dac5 calibrate: Rework delay timer calibration
The header define in asm/timex,h and the naming of the function to read the
delay timer are confusing at best.

Convert it to a config switch selected by the archictures which provide the
functionality and rename the function to delay_read_timer(), which makes
the purpose clear. Move the declaration to linux/delay.h where it belongs.

Remove the resulting empty asm/timex.h files as well.

Remove the corresponding lines.

Keep them for riscv, loongarch and powerpc as those have their own

622f04e974 ptrace, treewide: Rename ptrace_report_syscall_entry() to ptrace_report_syscall_permit_entry()
The return value of that function is boolean and tells the caller whether
to permit the syscall processing or not.

Rename the function so the purpose is clear and make the return type bool.

 Patchsets in this merge:
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: clean up build output and verbosity"
   from Li Wang removes some noise from the MM selftests build out.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm: Free contiguous order-0 pages efficiently"
   from Ryan Roberts speeds up the freeing of a batch of 0-order pages by
   first scanning them for coalescing opportunities.  This is applicable to
   vfree() and to the releasing of frozen pages.
 
 - The 11 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS failed region quota
   charge ratio" from SeongJae Park addresses a DAMOS usability issue: The
   DAMOS quota often exhausts prematurely because it charges for all memory
   attempted, causing slow and inconsistent performance when actions fail
   on unreclaimable memory.
 
   To fix this, a new feature lets users set a smaller, flexible quota
   charge ratio (via a numerator and denominator) for failed regions.
   Since failed actions cause less overhead, reducing their quota cost
   ensures more predictable and efficient DAMOS processing
 
 - The 8 patch series "selftests/cgroup: improve zswap tests robustness
   and support large page sizes" from Li Wang fixes various spurious
   failures and improves the overall robustness of the cgroup zswap
   selftests.
 
 - The 3 patch series "fix MAP_DROPPABLE not supported errno" from
   Anthony Yznaga fixes an issue in the mlock selftests on arm32.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: huge_memory: clean up defrag sysfs with
   shared" from Breno Leitao does some maintenance work in the huge_memory
   code.
 
 - The 3 patch series "treewide: fixup gfp_t printks" from Brendan
   Jackman uses the special vprintf() gfp_t conversion in various places.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm: Fix vmemmap optimization accounting and
   initialization" from Muchun Song fixes several bugs in the vmemmap
   optimization, mainly around incorrect page accounting and memmap
   initialization in the DAX and memory hotplug paths.  It also fixes
   pageblock migratetype initialization and struct page initialization for
   ZONE_DEVICE compound pages.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm/damon: repost non-hotfix reviewed patches in
   damon/next tree" from is a sprinkle of unrelated minor bugfixes for
   DAMON.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm: remove page_mapped()" from David Hildenbrand
   remove this function from the tree, replacing it with folio_mapped().
 
 - The 10 patch series "mm/damon: let DAMON be paused and resumed" from
   SeongJae Park permits DAMON to be paused and resumed without losing its
   current state.
 
 - The 3 patch series "kasan: hw_tags: Disable tagging for stack and
   page-tables" from Muhammad Usama Anjum simplifies and speeds up kasan by
   removing its ineffective tagging of stacks and page tables.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm/damon/reclaim,lru_sort: monitor all system rams
   by default" from SeongJae Park simplifies deployment on diverse hardware
   like NUMA systems by updating DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT to
   automatically monitor the physical address range covering all System RAM
   areas by default, replacing the overly restrictive behavior that only
   targeted the single largest memory block to save on negligible overhead.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: document filters/ directory as
   deprecated" from SeongJae Park updates some DAMON docs.
 
 - The 8 patch series "mm: use spinlock guards for zone lock" from Dmitry
   Ilvokhin switches zone->lock handling over to using the guard()
   mechanisms.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/filemap: tighten mmap_miss hit accounting" from
   fujunjie fixes a flaw where the mmap_miss counter over-credited page
   cache hits during fault-arounds and page-fault retries.  This results in
   significant reduction of redundant synchronous mmap readahead I/O,
   drastically cutting down execution time and gigabytes read for sparse
   random or strided memory access workloads.
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/cgroup: Fix false positive failures in
   test_percpu_basic" from Li Wang fixes a couple of false-positives in the
   cgroup kmem selftests.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/reclaim: support monitoring intervals
   auto-tuning" from SeongJae Park adds a new parameter to DAMON permitting
   DAMON_RECLAIM to automatically tune DAMON's sampling and aggregation
   intervals.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: add kdamond_pid parameter" from
   SeongJae Park chnges DAMON_STAT to provide the pid of its kdamond.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/kmemleak: dedupe verbose scan output" from
   Breno Leitao removes large amounts of duplicated backtraces from the
   verbose-mode kmemleak output.
 
 - The 8 patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 1)"
   from David Hildenbrand reduces our use of CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE,
   with a view to removing it entirely in a later series.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: validate min_region_size to be power of
   2" from Liew Rui Yan prevents users from passing a non-power-of-2 value
   of `addr_unit', as this later results in undesirable behavior.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: document read_pages and simplify usage" from
   Frederick Mayle does as claimed.
 
 - The 3 patch series "tools/mm/page-types: Fix misc bugs" from Ye Liu
   fixes three issues in tools/mm/page-types.c.
 
 - The 4 patch series "mm: misc cleanups from __GFP_UNMAPPED series" from
   Brendan Jackman implements several cleanups in the page allocator and
   related code.
 
 - The 12 patch series "mm, swap: swap table phase IV: unify allocation"
   from Kairui Song unifies the allocation and charging of anon and shmem
   swap in folios, provides better synchronization, consolidates the
   metadata management, hence dropping the static array and map, and
   improves performance.
 
 - The 28 patch series "mm/damon: introduce data attributes monitoring"
   from SeongJae Park extends DAMON for monitoring general data attributes
   other than accesses.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc: free unused pages on vrealloc()
   shrink" from Shivam Kalra implements the TODO in vrealloc() to unmap and
   free unused pages when shrinking across a page boundary.
 
 - The 3 patch series "mm/damon: documentation and comment fixes" from
   niecheng does as advertised.
 
 - The 3 patch series "remove mmap_action success, error hooks" from
   Lorenzo Stoakes eliminates custom hooks from mmap_action by removing the
   problematic success_hook which allowed drivers to improperly access
   uninitialized VMAs.  It replaces the error_hook with a simple error-code
   field and updates the memory char driver accordingly.
 
 - The 14 patch series "mm/damon: minor improvements for code readability
   and tests" from SeongJae Park implements minor improvements in code
   readability and tests for DAMON.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: fix macro arguments and clarify quota
   goals doc" from Maksym Shcherba does those things.
 
 - The 2 patch series "userfaultfd: merge fs/userfaultfd.c into
   mm/userfaultfd.c" from Mike Rapoport performs that code movement.
 
 - The 15 patch series "mm/mglru: improve reclaim loop and dirty folio"
   from Kairui Song and others cleans up and slightly improves MGLRU's
   reclaim loop and dirty writeback handling.  Large performance
   improvements are measured.
 
 - The 3 patch series "use vma locks for proc/pid/{smaps|numa_maps}
   reads" from Suren Baghdasaryan uses per-vma locks when reading
   /proc/pid/smaps and /proc/pid/numa_maps similar to reduce contention on
   central mmap_lock.
 
 - The 2 patch series "refactors thpsize_shmem_enabled_store() and
   thpsize_shmem_enabled_show()" from Ran Xiaokai provides some cleanup
   work in the THP code.
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/memfd: fix compilation warnings" from
   Konstantin Khorenko fixes a few build glitches in the memfd selftest
   code.
 
 - The 4 patch series "memcg: shrink obj_stock_pcp and cache multiple
   objcgs" from Shakeel Butt resolves a 68% performance regression caused
   by NUMA-node cache thrashing around struct obj_stock_pcp by shrinking
   its existing fields and expanding it into a multi-slot array that caches
   up to five obj_cgroup pointers per CPU, allowing per-node variants of
   the same memcg to coexist within a single 64-byte cache line.
 
 - The 2 patch series "zram: writeback fixes" from Sergey Senozhatsky
   addresses a couple of unrelated zram writeback issues.
 
 - The 9 patch series "mm: switch THP shrinker to list_lru" from Johannes
   Weiner resolves NUMA-awareness issues and streamlines callsite
   interaction by refactoring and extending the list_lru API to completely
   replace the complex, open-coded deferred split queue for Transparent
   Huge Pages (THPs).
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: improve large folio readahead for exec memory"
   from Usama Arif improves large-folio readahead on systems like 64K-page
   arm64 by preventing the mmap_miss check from permanently disabling
   target-oriented VM_EXEC readahead, and by generalizing the
   force_thp_readahead gate to support mappings with any usefully large
   maximum folio order under the cache cap.
 
 - The 6 patch series "userfaultfd/pagemap: pre-existing fixes" from
   Kiryl Shutsemau fixes a bunch of minor issues in the
   userfaultfd/pagemap, all of which were flagged by Sashiko review of
   proposed new material.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/sparse-vmemmap: Provide generic
   vmemmap_set_pmd() and vmemmap_check_pmd()" from Muchun Song provides
   generic versions of these two functions so the four arch-specific
   implementations can be removed.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/swap, PM: hibernate: fix swapoff race in
   uswsusp by pinning swap device" from Youngjun Park addresses a
   uswsusp-vs-swapoff race and reduces the swap device reference
   taking/releasing frequency.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/hmm: A fix and a selftest" from Dev Jain does
   as claimed.

Linus Torvalds
b85966adbf Networking changes for 7.2.
Core & protocols
 ----------------
 
  - Work on removing rtnl_lock protection throughout the stack continues.
    In this chapter:
     - don't use rtnl_lock for IPv6 multicast routing configuration
     - don't take rtnl_lock in ethtool for modern drivers
     - prepare Qdisc dump callbacks for rtnl_lock removal
 
  - Support dumping just ifindex + name of all interfaces, under RCU.
    It's a common operation for Netlink CLI tools (when translating
    names to ifindexes) and previously required full rtnl_lock.
 
  - Support dumping qdiscs and page pools for a specific netdev. Even tho
    user space wants a dump of all netdevs, most of the time, the OOO
    programming model results in repeating the dump for each netdev.
    Which, in absence of a cache, leads to a O(n^2) behavior.
 
  - Flush nexthops once on multi-nexthop removal (e.g. when device goes
    down), another O(n^2) -> O(n) improvement.
 
  - Rehash locally generated traffic to a different nexthop on retransmit
    timeout.
 
  - Honor oif when choosing nexthop for locally generated IPv6 traffic.
 
  - Convert TCP Auth Option to crypto library, and drop non-RFC algos.
 
  - Increase subflow limits in MPTCP to 64 and endpoint limit to 256.
 
  - Support MPTCP signaling of IPv6 address + port (ADD_ADDR). We need
    to selectively skip reporting of the standard TCP Timestamp option,
    because they won't fit into the header space together (12 + 30 > 40).
 
  - Support using bridge neighbor suppression, Duplicate Address
    Detection, Gratuitous ARP and unsolicited NA forwarding - in EVPN
    deployments, e.g. VXLAN fabrics (IPv4 and IPv6).
 
  - Improve link state reporting for upper netdevs (e.g. macvlan) over
    tunnel devices (again, mostly for EVPN deployments).
 
  - Support binding GENEVE tunnels to a local address.
 
  - Speed up UDP tunnel destruction (remove one synchronize_rcu()).
 
  - Support exponential field encoding in multicast (IGMPv3 and MLDv2).
 
  - Support attaching PSP crypto offload to containers (veth, netkit).
 
  - Add a new IPSec Netlink message XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE that allows
    migrating individual IPsec SAs independently of their policies.
    The existing XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE is tightly coupled to policy+SA
    migration, lacks SPI for unique SA identification, and cannot express
    reqid changes or migrate Transport mode selectors. The new interface
    identifies the SA via SPI and mark, supports reqid changes, address
    family changes, encap removal, and uses an atomic create+install
    flow under x->lock to prevent SN/IV reuse during AEAD SA migration.
 
  - Implement GRO/GSO support for PPPoE.
 
  - Convert sockopt callbacks in a number of protocols to iov_iter.
 
 Cross-tree stuff
 ----------------
 
  - Remove support for Crypto TFM cloning (unblocked after the TCP Auth
    Option rework). This feature regressed performance for all crypto API
    users, since it changed crypto transformation objects into reference-
    -counted objects.
 
  - Add FCrypt-PCBC implementation to rxrpc and remove it from the global
    crypto API as obsolete and insecure.
 
 Wireless
 --------
 
  - Major rework of station bandwidth handling, fixing issues with lower
    capability than AP.
 
  - Cleanups for EMLSR spec issues (drafts differed).
 
  - More Neighbor Awareness Networking (Wi-Fi Aware) work (multicast,
    schedule improvements, multi-station etc.)
 
  - Some Ultra High Reliability (UHR) / IEEE 802.11bn (D1.4) work
    (e.g. non-primary channel access, UHR DBE support).
 
  - Fine Timing Measurement ranging (i.e. distance measurement) APIs.
 
 Netfilter
 ---------
 
  - Use per-rule hash initval in nf_conncount. This avoids unnecessary
    lock contention with short keys (e.g. conntrack zones) in different
    namespaces.
 
  - Various safety improvements, both in packet parsing and object
    lifetimes. Notably add refcounts to conntrack timeout policy.
 
 Deletions
 ---------
 
  - Remove TLS + sockmap integration. TLS wants to pin user pages
    to avoid a copy, and sockmap wants to write to the input stream.
    More work on this integration is clearly needed, and we can't find
    any users (original author admitted that they never deployed it).
 
  - Remove support for TLS offload with TCP Offload Engine (the far
    more common opportunistic offload is retained). The locking looks
    unfixable (driver sleeps under TCP spin locks) and people from
    the vendor that added this are AWOL.
 
  - Remove more ATM code, trying to leave behind only what PPPoATM needs,
    AAL5 and br2684 with permanent circuits.
 
  - Remove AppleTalk. Let it join hamradio in our out of tree protocol
    graveyard, I mean, repository.
 
  - Disable 32-bit x_tables compatibility (32bit binaries on 64bit kernel)
    interface in user namespaces. To be deleted completely, soon.
 
  - Remove 5/10 MHz support from cfg80211/mac80211.

7eb475e8a7 sparc: led: avoid trimming a newline from empty writes
led_proc_write() duplicates up to LED_MAX_LENGTH bytes with
memdup_user_nul() and then unconditionally inspects buf[count - 1] to
strip a trailing newline. A zero-length write therefore reads one byte
before the duplicated buffer.

The previous version rejected empty writes, but empty input already falls
through to the existing default case and turns the LED off like any other
unrecognized string. Preserve that behavior and only skip the newline
trim when there is no input byte to inspect.

2416b30ec2 sparc: Export mcount for Clang-built modules
Clang emits calls to mcount for -pg on sparc64, while the
existing ftrace support only exports the _mcount name. With
FUNCTION_TRACER enabled, modules can therefore keep relocations
against mcount and fail during modpost:

  ERROR: modpost: "mcount" [arch/sparc/kernel/chmc.ko] undefined!

_mcount and mcount are aliases in arch/sparc/lib/mcount.S. Export
the plain mcount alias as well so Clang-built modules can resolve

ld.lld does not support the 32-bit SPARC ELF emulation used for

This avoids selecting an unsupported build path while leaving the

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the
     lock in anon_pipe_write().

     anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding
     pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs
     memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
     concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
     pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
     into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
     is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
     section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
     writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
     write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
     holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves
     21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to
     selftests.

   - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in
     copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check
     in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add
     copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr()
     helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC).

   - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real
     inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode
     attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device
     information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program
     that was merged into systemd.

   - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by
     the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose
     on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio
     conversions and iomap migration.

  Fixes:

   - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo()
     and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a
     one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo
     filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo()
     callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where
     SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning.

   - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs,
     qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a
     device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them;
     the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a
     follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the
     minix v3 block size fails.

   - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API.

   - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by
     switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg()
     from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID
     path.

   - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing
     delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount
     performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init
     s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT.

   - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped
     grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in
     listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns()
     where the tests should SKIP.

   - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for
     CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n.

   - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before
     running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state.

   - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in
     validate_coredump_safety().

   - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in
     __iomap_write_begin().

   - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc.

  Cleanups:

   - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin()
     instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and
     extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x
     prefixes.

   - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc()
     across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2,
     isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the
     do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page
     allocator calls with kmalloc().

   - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and
     journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence.

   - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove
     start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path()
     into start_removing_path().

   - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with
     EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES().

   - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for
     the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the
     architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases.

   - dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free()
     via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags.

   - iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the
     allocation against multiplication overflow.

   - fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once.

   - vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd().

   - dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc().

   - namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts().

   - sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code.

   - Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix
     assorted spelling mistakes"

Pull openat2 updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Add O_EMPTYPATH to openat(2)/openat2(2). To get an operable file
     descriptor from an O_PATH file descriptor it is possible to use
     openat(fd, ".", O_DIRECTORY) for directories, but other file types
     require going through open("/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>") and thus depend
     on a functioning procfs.

     With O_EMPTYPATH an empty path string is accepted and LOOKUP_EMPTY
     is set at path resolution time, allowing to reopen the file behind
     the file descriptor directly. Selftests are included.

   - Add an OPENAT2_REGULAR flag for openat2(2) which refuses to open
     anything but regular files with the new EFTYPE error code.

     This implements the "ability to only open regular files" feature
     requested by userspace via uapi-group.org and protects services
     from being redirected to fifos, device nodes, and friends.

     All atomic_open implementations were audited for OPENAT2_REGULAR
     handling. Explicit checks were added to ceph, gfs2, nfs (v4), and
     cifs/smb - these are the filesystems whose atomic_open can
     encounter an existing non-regular file and would otherwise call
     finish_open() on it or return a misleading error code.

     The remaining implementations (9p, fuse, vboxsf, nfs v2/v3) only
     call finish_open() on freshly created files and use
     finish_no_open() for lookup hits, letting the VFS catch non-regular
     files via the do_open() safety net.

  Cleanups:

   - Migrate the openat2 selftests to the kselftest harness and move
     them under selftests/filesystems/. The tests were written in the
     early days of selftests' TAP support and the modern kselftest
     harness is much easier to follow and maintain. The contents of the
     tests are unchanged and the new emptypath tests are ported on top.

   - Make the LAST_XXX last-type constants private to fs/namei.c. The
     only user outside of fs/namei.c was ksmbd which only needs to know
     whether the last component is a regular one, so
     vfs_path_parent_lookup() now performs the LAST_NORM check
     internally. The ints are replaced with a dedicated enum last_type"

9bc0bd9617 sparc: Avoid -Wunused-but-set-parameter in clear_user_page()
The loop in clear_user_pages() iterates over all pages and calls
clear_user_page() for each of them. During the loop "vaddr" is modified.
However on sparc clear_user() is a macro which does not use "vaddr".
The compiler sees a variable which is modified but never used and emits
a warning for that:

	include/linux/highmem.h: In function 'clear_user_pages':
	include/linux/highmem.h:234:63: warning: parameter 'vaddr' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-parameter=]
		static inline void clear_user_pages(void *addr, unsigned long vaddr,

Other architectures use an inline function for clear_user_page() which
avoids the warning. This is not possible on sparc, as
sparc_flush_page_to_ram() is not yet declared where clear_user_page() is
defined. Including cacheflush_32.h will trigger recursive and lots of
other issues.

So hide the warning with a cast to (void) instead.

While we are here, do the same for copy_user_page().

1967bfaf7b crypto: pcbc - Remove support for PCBC mode
The only user of PCBC mode (Propagating Cipher Block Chaining mode) was
net/rxrpc/rxkad.c, which now uses local code instead.

While PCBC was an interesting cryptographic experiment, it has largely
been relegated to the history books and academic exercises.  It is
non-parallelizable (i.e., very slow) and doesn't actually achieve the
integrity properties it was apparently intended to achieve.

Remove support for it from the crypto API.

374efbdc85 crypto: fcrypt - Remove support for FCrypt block cipher
Remove the insecure FCrypt block cipher from the crypto API.  Its only
user was net/rxrpc/, but now net/rxrpc/ implements it locally.  The
crypto API implementation is no longer needed.

For some additional context: FCrypt was designed in 1988 and is
essentially a weakened version of DES.  It has the same 56-bit key size
as DES, which is easily brute forced.  Moreover, it's cryptographically
weak and doesn't even provide the intended 56-bit security level.  Its
author considers it to be a mistake, as well
(https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2000-December/005320.html).

But fortunately this 1980s-era homebrew block cipher was never adopted
outside of net/rxrpc/.  So its code can just be kept there.

vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex numbers in favor of (1 << n) for O_ flags
A recent build failure[1] exposed the diffculty of working with the
current octal and hex definitions of O_ flags when trying to find a gap
for a new flag. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that O_ flags
may have architectural specific values.

Replace the hex/octal #defines, which are hard to parse when looking for
free bits, with explicit bit shifts like (1 << 11). Also, add comments
that identify which architectures redefine some of the seemingly free
("cursed") bits in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h. These should not be used to
define new O_ flags (for now, at least).

The translastion was done with Claude Opus 4.8, and verified with a
(non-AI) gawk script. The accounting of which architectures claim
which bit-gaps in uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h is also done by hand.

42791eddab sparc/mm: remove register_page_bootmem_info()
Patch series "mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE (Part 1)".

We want to remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE.  As a first step, let's
limit the remaining harm to x86 and core code, removing sparc, ppc and
s390 leftovers, starting the stepwise removal by removing and simplifying
some code.

Once a related x86 vmemmap fix [1] is in, we can merge part 2 that will
remove CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE entirely.

Tested on x86-64 with hugetlb vmemmap optimization in combination with
KMEMLEAK, making sure that the problem reported in dd0ff4d12d ("bootmem:
remove the vmemmap pages from kmemleak in put_page_bootmem") does not
reappear -- hoping I managed to trigger the original problem.


This patch (of 8):

sparc does not select CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, therefore,
register_page_bootmem_info_node() is a nop.

Let's just get rid of register_page_bootmem_info().

c02be2ad2b uaccess: unify inline vs outline copy_{from,to}_user() selection
The kernel allows arches to select between inline and outline
implementations of the copy_{from,to}_user() by defining individual
INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER and INLINE_COPY_TO_USER, correspondingly.  However,
all arches enable or disable them always together.

Without the real use-case for one helper being inlined while the other
outlined, having independent controls is excessive and error prone.

Switch the codebase to the single unified INLINE_COPY_USER control.

34594da765 genirq/proc: Increase default interrupt number precision to four
Quite some architectures have four character wide acronyms for architecture
specific interrupts like IPI, NMI, etc.

The default precision of printing the Linux device interrupt numbers is
three, which causes quite some code to play games with adding or omitting
space after the acronym and the colon in order to keep the per CPU numbers
properly aligned.

Increase the default number precision to four in the core code and get rid
of the space games all over the place. At the same time align all
architecture specific descriptor texts left so that they show up in the
same column as the interrupt chip names, which makes the output more
uniform accross architectures. Fix up the GDB script to this new scheme as
well.

a494d3c8d5 ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic
On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache
to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a
coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer
and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the
counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the
persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded.

To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and
flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

d9ef13f727 bpf: Pass bpf_verifier_env to JIT
Pass bpf_verifier_env to bpf_int_jit_compile(). The follow-up patch will
use env->insn_aux_data in the JIT stage to detect indirect jump targets.

Since bpf_prog_select_runtime() can be called by cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c
code without verifier, introduce helper __bpf_prog_select_runtime()
to accept the env parameter.

Remove the call to bpf_prog_select_runtime() in bpf_prog_load(), and
switch to call __bpf_prog_select_runtime() in the verifier, with env
variable passed. The original bpf_prog_select_runtime() is preserved for
cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c, where env is NULL.

Now all constants blinding calls are moved into the verifier, except
the cbpf and lib/test_bpf.c cases. The instructions arrays are adjusted
by bpf_patch_insn_data() function for normal cases, so there is no need
to call adjust_insn_arrays() in bpf_jit_blind_constants(). Remove it.

d3e945223e bpf: Move constants blinding out of arch-specific JITs
During the JIT stage, constants blinding rewrites instructions but only
rewrites the private instruction copy of the JITed subprog, leaving the
global env->prog->insnsi and env->insn_aux_data untouched. This causes a
mismatch between subprog instructions and the global state, making it
difficult to use the global data in the JIT.

To avoid this mismatch, and given that all arch-specific JITs already
support constants blinding, move it to the generic verifier code, and
switch to rewrite the global env->prog->insnsi with the global states
adjusted, as other rewrites in the verifier do.

This removes the constants blinding calls in each JIT, which are largely
duplicated code across architectures.

Since constants blinding is only required for JIT, and there are two
JIT entry functions, jit_subprogs() for BPF programs with multiple
subprogs and bpf_prog_select_runtime() for programs with no subprogs,
move the constants blinding invocation into these two functions.

In the verifier path, bpf_patch_insn_data() is used to keep global
verifier auxiliary data in sync with patched instructions. A key
question is whether this global auxiliary data should be restored
on the failure path.

Besides instructions, bpf_patch_insn_data() adjusts:
  - prog->aux->poke_tab
  - env->insn_array_maps
  - env->subprog_info
  - env->insn_aux_data

For prog->aux->poke_tab, it is only used by JIT or only meaningful after
JIT succeeds, so it does not need to be restored on the failure path.

For env->insn_array_maps, when JIT fails, programs using insn arrays
are rejected by bpf_insn_array_ready() due to missing JIT addresses.
Hence, env->insn_array_maps is only meaningful for JIT and does not need
to be restored.

For subprog_info, if jit_subprogs fails and CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
is not enabled, kernel falls back to interpreter. In this case,
env->subprog_info is used to determine subprogram stack depth. So it
must be restored on failure.

For env->insn_aux_data, it is freed by clear_insn_aux_data() at the
end of bpf_check(). Before freeing, clear_insn_aux_data() loops over
env->insn_aux_data to release jump targets recorded in it. The loop
uses env->prog->len as the array length, but this length no longer
matches the actual size of the adjusted env->insn_aux_data array after
constants blinding.

To address it, a simple approach is to keep insn_aux_data as adjusted
after failure, since it will be freed shortly, and record its actual size
for the loop in clear_insn_aux_data(). But since clear_insn_aux_data()
uses the same index to loop over both env->prog->insnsi and env->insn_aux_data,
this approach results in incorrect index for the insnsi array. So an
alternative approach is adopted: clone the original env->insn_aux_data
before blinding and restore it after failure, similar to env->prog.

For classic BPF programs, constants blinding works as before since it
is still invoked from bpf_prog_select_runtime().
