Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:
 "Major changes:

   - Introduce scalar evolution (SCEV) analysis in the verifier.

     It infers how registers and stack slots change in a loop and lets
     the verifier check bounded loops with induction variables as ranges
     instead of walking every iteration. The number of processed insns
     drops ten fold in programs with loops (Eduard Zingerman)

   - Add 'callx' instruction: indirect call of a static BPF subprogram.

     The address is taken with ld_imm64 or loaded from read-only data.
     Supported by x86-64, arm64 and riscv64 JITs (Alexei Starovoitov, Pu
     Lehui)

   - Add unwind_goto and unwind_exit instructions, so that Rust panic or
     C++ exception can run destructors of every frame it passes through.
     The normal path is free of unwind code. Supported by x86-64 and
     arm64 JITs (Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Support programs compiled by rust-bpf: treat load and store through
     a number as arena access with BPF_F_ARENA_SCALAR, accept rust names
     in BTF (Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Raise BPF program stack size from 512 bytes to 2 KiB on x86-64 and
     arm64 (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

   - Support struct, union and __int128 up to 16 bytes passed and
     returned by value in BPF subprograms and kfuncs, and fix x86-64 and
     arm64 trampolines for such arguments (Yonghong Song)

   - Introduce a common way to attach struct_ops to a cgroup via
     bpf_link. bpf_tcp_ops is the first user and mirrors TCP sock_ops
     callbacks (Martin KaFai Lau, Amery Hung)

   - Describe inlined functions in BTF. New kinds tell where the inline
     sites are and how to fetch the arguments there.

     CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_INLINE keeps it apart from the main BTF in
     .BTF.inline section or in btf_vmlinux_inline.ko (Alan Maguire)

   - Fix many memory safety, lifetime and locking bugs in BPF core,
     verifier, iterators, local storage, dynptr, devmap, cpumap and
     seg6local (Josef Bacik, Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Diff stat is dominated by selftests and by removal of
     lib/test_bpf.c. Its 16k lines of instruction tests were converted
     to BPF selftests that BPF CI runs on every architecture it covers
     (Daniel Borkmann)

  Other features and fixes:

   - Add KASAN checks to memory accesses of JITed programs on x86-64
     (Alexis Lothoré)

   - Complete unification of helper, kfunc and subprog argument checks
     in the verifier (Amery Hung)

   - Add bpf_copy_from_user_mm[_str]() kfuncs (Anastasios Papagiannis)

   - Various features and fixes (Daniel Borkmann):
       - Add .bpf keyring for program signature verification, modelled
         after dm-verity keyring, and support ML-DSA in signing tools
       - Emit shorter and faster code in x86-64 JIT for patterns that
         LLVM generates
       - Fix various issues in gotox handling

   - Let BPF LSM set xattrs at inode creation with bpf_inode_init_xattr()
     (David Windsor, Daniel Borkmann)

   - Use sleepable page allocation in sleepable arena paths. Fix races
     between arena free, allocation and user page fault (Emil Tsalapatis)

   - Switch BPF crypto from lskcipher to AES-CBC and AES-ECB libraries
     (Eric Biggers)

   - Add bpf_proactive_reclaim() kfunc (Hui Zhu)

   - Render decl_tags in libbpf btf_dump and add tests for bpftool C
     dump (Ihor Solodrai)

   - Speed up tracing_multi attach on x86 (Jiri Olsa)

   - Various features and fixes (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi):
       - Add BPF_PROG_STREAM_OPEN command to read BPF streams through a
         file descriptor with poll support
       - Let kernel structs publish arena pointers with __arena type tag
       - Fix __uninit kfunc output buffers and fastcall rewrite with
         indirect stack accesses
       - Refuse CO-RE relocations for signed programs

   - Add enqueue_rcvq and dequeue_rcvq hooks to bpf_tcp_ops to adjust
     sk_rcvlowat and avoid unnecessary wakeups (Kuniyuki Iwashima)

   - Add bpf_ksock_sendto() kfunc and allow ksock connect and send from
     bpf_wq (Mahe Tardy)

   - Fix racy plt target update in arm64 bpf_arch_text_poke()
     (Matthew Wood)

   - Restructure BPF selftests Makefile as a layered build
     (Mykola Lysenko)

   - Speed up hash map lookups for u32 and u64 keys (Mykyta Yatsenko)

   - Add signed div/mod, movsx, bswap and gotol to MIPS JITs, signed
     div/mod to parisc JITs (Nicholas Dudar, Johan Almbladh)

   - Fix stack overflow in build ID parser on 32-bit (Nickolai
     Zeldovich)

   - Add stack arguments, signed arena loads and gotox to riscv64 JIT.
     Pu Lehui is now co-maintainer of riscv BPF JITs (Pu Lehui, Chen
     Pei, Feng Jiang)

   - Add bpf_call_rcu() and bpf_call_rcu_tasks_trace() kfuncs. Support
     fetching and/or/xor atomics in arena on x86-64 (Puranjay Mohan)

   - Fix flaky selftests, selftests with clang 23 and bpf-gcc
     (Qiliang Yuan, KaFai Wan, Vineet Gupta)

   - Fix builds broken by fatal resolve_btfids warnings, BTF generation
     on ARC, and define arch_cmpxchg_local() on arc, hexagon and
     openrisc (Sasha Levin)

   - Reduce memory use of hash maps by up to 50% per element
     (T.J. Mercier)

   - Mark pointer fields of sched_ext ops arguments as trusted (Tejun
     Heo)

   - Remove legacy bpf_asm, bpf_dbg and bpf_jit_disasm tools (Xia Yan)

   - Fix index overflow in queue and stack maps, arena range tree after
     allocation failure, tail call loop after freplace detach, lost
     signal in bpf_send_signal() (Yuan Chen)

   - Many more fixes and cleanups"

 Summary of patch series in this merge, ordered by descending size:
 
 - "selftests/mm: improve khugepaged coverage" (Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)):
 
   Give khugepaged a proper workout.  Extend the tests to all supported mTHP
   orders, check exactly which windows collapsed, and make scan completion
   deterministic.  Race collapse against faults, pinning, fork and remap;
   verify that the contents survive.
 
   Add coverage for whole-page-table zaps and memory pressure too.
 
 - "selftests/mm: separate GUP microbenchmarking from functional testing"
   (Sarthak Sharma):
 
   Untangle GUP benchmarking from correctness testing.  Move the benchmark
   into tools/mm, add a standalone harness-based GUP selftest, and move shared
   helpers into tools/lib/mm.  Give each tool one job instead of mixing timing
   measurements with correctness checks.
 
   Cover the mapping, pinning and batch-size combinations explicitly.
 
 - "mm: Switch device DAX to section-based vmemmap optimization" (Muchun Song):
 
   Apply section-based vmemmap optimization to device DAX.  Rework the backing
   metadata layout to save memory while preserving the handling of device
   memory hotplug and its different alignment and lifetime requirements.
 
 - "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB" (Muchun
   Song):
 
   Cut the memory consumed by HugeTLB's struct page array with section-based
   vmemmap optimization.  Arrange the metadata so large huge pages need fewer
   backing pages, while keeping initialization, teardown and the various
   hugepage configurations straight.
 
 - "mm/huge_memory: clean up and decouple the anon and file split helpers"
   (Kairui Song):
 
   Separate anonymous and file-backed folio splitting, which have rather
   different locking and bookkeeping requirements.  Move the work into
   separate helpers, drop dead checks and tidy swap-cache handling.  Fix error
   paths, including one that could leave a folio frozen.
 
   Keep the swap cache cases separate from file-cache splitting.
 
 - "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen):
 
   Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional code
   around it.  This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and lets callers
   depend on one locking model rather than carrying both cases along.
 
 - "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt):
 
   Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery.  This has long since
   been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling around a
   separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much.
 
 - "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan):
 
   Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible, rather than
   holding mmap_lock across the entire walk.  Retain the contention fallback
   and add tearing tests.  This considerably reduces latency when another
   thread is busy changing its mappings.
 
 - "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park):
 
   Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes, making
   them available to the probe and filtering machinery.  Extend the
   interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be used
   rather than merely collected.
 
 - "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi Yan):
 
   Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say whether
   private data is attached.  Convert the filesystem users, including erofs,
   f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and flags.  There are a few
   special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb, which need explicit care.
 
 - "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)):
 
   Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers.  Sort out the
   page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble over freed
   tables while mappings are being torn down.
 
 - "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng):
 
   Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so reclaim
   can find those folios under the right memcg.  Wire up the per-memcg
   tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist its own lockdep
   class to avoid spurious dependency reports.
 
 - "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual):
 
   Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their
   architecture-specific baggage.  Simplify the common page-table interfaces
   and callers now that these checks no longer serve a useful purpose.
 
 - "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt):
 
   Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're actually
   accessed.  Keep frequently updated counters and their neighboring state
   from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless cacheline traffic.
 
 - "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region" (Donggeun
   Yoo):
 
   Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region.  Charge
   only the part left after filtering, not the original region, and add KUnit
   coverage.  Previously the excluded memory could eat into the quota and make
   schemes run more slowly than requested.
 
 - "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ Park):
 
   Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including validation and
   the results reported to userspace.  This is mostly about catching
   regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before they become harder to
   diagnose.
 
 - "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg API"
   (Tal Zussman):
 
   Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and
   lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers.  Most of this is mechanical,
   but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler catch accidental
   writes.
 
 - "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park):
 
   Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's virtual-address
   backend.  This brings vaddr monitoring into line with the probe
   infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there too.
 
 - "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song):
 
   Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling.  Remove redundant
   accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow without
   changing the intended reclaim policy.
 
 - "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()"
   (Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
 
   Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush() interface
   across architectures and execmem.  Make the requested mapping changes and
   the callers' expectations agree, rather than relying on subtly different
   architecture behavior.
 
 - "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti):
 
   Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes.  They
   are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only makes reclaim
   rediscover them later.  Extend swap-cache dropbehind and let zswap keep
   these folios off the LRU altogether.
 
 - "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski):
 
   Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path helpers
   pass their arguments and results around.  Keep the page-pin behavior the
   same while making the call sequence easier to maintain.
 
 - "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe):
 
   Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages.  Avoid redundant work
   when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every descriptor
   can get expensive.
 
 - "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu):
 
   Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier instead
   of a full pointer.  Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling correct
   while saving per-entry metadata.
 
 - "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory" (Krishna
   Iyer):
 
   Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too.  Extend the relevant access
   checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall through a hole in
   the monitoring machinery.
 
 - "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport
   (Microsoft)):
 
   Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the
   awkward allocation and release cases.  The aim is to make the cache's
   ownership and permission transitions more predictable.
 
 - "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky):
 
   Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to the
   supported access mechanism.  This removes a duplicate interface which we no
   longer need.
 
 - "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory Price):
 
   Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference to
   the existing policy will do.  This avoids extra work and makes the
   ownership rules less obscure.
 
 - "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry Song
   (Xiaomi)):
 
   Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold and
   hot folios end up in the wrong order.  Adjust the counter and list handling
   so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction candidates.
 
 - "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang):
 
   Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation, not an
   outright failure.  Propagate that result correctly through shmem and the
   generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting, and add tests for the
   resulting SIGBUS behavior.
 
 - "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve usage" (Ye
   Liu):
 
   Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and make
   the usage output more helpful.  This makes the tool less frustrating when
   tracking down who is holding on to pages.
 
 - "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ Park):
 
   Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers can
   share it.  Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass
   inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input.
 
 - "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu (Huawei)):
 
   Clean up a collection of small DAMON rough edges in the core, interfaces
   and tests.  No large behavior change here, just simpler code and fewer
   opportunities for confusion.
 
 - "mm/damon: cleanup code, add test cases, and update guidances in docs" (SJ
   Park):
 
   Clean up DAMON's core and interfaces, add missing test cases and bring the
   documentation into line with the code.  These changes should make the newer
   facilities easier to understand and maintain.
 
 - "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter" (SJ Park):
 
   Add a DAMON probe filter for hugepage size.  Let users select a range of
   folio sizes through sysfs, validate the range and document the new
   interface, so monitoring can concentrate on memory backed by the desired
   hugepage sizes.
 
 - "selftests/mm: pagemap_ioctl test fixes and cleanups" (Zenghui Yu (Huawei)):
 
   Fix some pagemap ioctl test assumptions and clean up their setup and
   reporting.  Make failures point to the operation that went wrong rather
   than to test harness bookkeeping.
 
 - "mm: avoid large folio splits when swap is unavailable" (Johannes Weiner):
 
   Avoid splitting large folios merely to attempt swap when no swap space is
   available.  There is little point paying for an expensive split when
   reclaim cannot actually swap the resulting pages out.
 
 - "mm: workingset: fix the shadow node budget under MGLRU" (Hui Zhu):
 
   Fix the workingset shadow-node budget with MGLRU enabled.  Keep the shadow
   entries within the intended limits so refault tracking does not quietly
   consume more metadata than it should.
 
 - "selftests/mm: TAP output and global-state fixes" (Song Hu):
 
   Fix selftests which produce misleading TAP output or fail to restore global
   settings after a run.  A test ought to leave the system as it found it,
   particularly when a whole suite follows behind.
 
 - "mm: remove page_swap_entry()" (Tal Zussman):
 
   Remove page_swap_entry() and convert its remaining users to the folio and
   swap-entry helpers.  Lose an old page-level interface and make the swap
   paths a little more consistent.
 
 - "mm: refactor zonelist constructors and iterators" (Gregory Price):
 
   Refactor the zonelist construction and walk helpers to reduce duplicated
   logic.  Keep the allocation ordering rules intact while making it clearer
   how zones are selected.
 
 - "mm: kmemleak: batch the struct page scan" (Breno Leitao):
 
   Scan adjacent struct pages in batches instead of taking kmemleak_lock once
   for every single page.  This preserves scan coverage and the lock-hold
   bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug kernels.
 
 - "mm/damon: misc improvements in tests and documents" (Zenghui Yu (Huawei)):
 
   Fix some DAMON selftests which leave kdamond running or fail under Python
   safe-path mode, and improve the KUnit coverage and documentation.  Nothing
   especially glamorous, but these are worth doing.
 
 - "mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter" (SJ Park):
 
   Add a DAMOS core filter using weighted probe-hit counts.  This gives
   schemes another way to select regions based on what the monitoring probes
   observed.
 
 - "mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim" (Ridong
   Chen):
 
   Fix MGLRU's memory protection handling for reclaim outside kswapd.  The
   protection settings weren't having the intended effect in these paths,
   leaving protected memory more exposed than requested.
 
 - "mm/damon: improve readability, clarity and test coverage" (SJ Park):
 
   Simplify a handful of DAMON core helpers, clarify their behavior and expand
   test coverage.  There are no intended userspace-visible changes in this
   batch.
 
 - "mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD/PF_KSWAPD with kthread_func()" (Kefeng Wang):
 
   Stop identifying reclaim and compaction workers through the PF_KSWAPD and
   PF_KCOMPACTD task flags.  Use their kthread functions instead and remove
   the redundant flag plumbing.
 
 - "mm/hugetlb: fix surplus accounting and availability checks during demotion"
   (Longlong Xia):
 
   Fix HugeTLB surplus accounting and availability checks when demoting huge
   pages.  Keep the counters and reservation decisions consistent as one huge
   page turns into several smaller ones.
 
 - "mm/damon: add kunit tests for probe_hits handling and probe params
   validation" (Jason Angelov):
 
   Add KUnit tests for DAMON probe-hit handling and invalid probe parameters.
   These cover edge cases that were too easy to miss in ordinary monitoring
   tests.
 
 - "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in kunit, quota goals and sysfs refresh_ms" (SJ
   Park):
 
   Fix a few DAMON bugs in KUnit tests, quota-goal handling and the sysfs
   refresh interval.  Small fixes, but the incorrect results and control
   behavior were real.
 
 - "mm: zswap: optimize zswap invalidate and store" (Kefeng Wang):
 
   Simplify zswap's invalidate and store paths to avoid avoidable lookups and
   work.  Keep the entry lifetime rules intact while making those frequent
   operations cheaper.
 
 - "mm: replace custom ratelimiting logic" (Pedro Falcato):
 
   Replace hand-rolled MM rate limiting with the common kernel helpers.  There
   is no need to maintain another local version of the same mechanism.
 
 - "mm/vmalloc: minor cleanups" (Ye Liu):
 
   Tidy some vmalloc initialization and reporting code, and pull duplicated
   vmap-area insertion work into a helper.  No functional changes are
   intended.
 
 - "mm/mglru: clean up isolate_folios for readability and clarity" (Ridong
   Chen):
 
   Clean up MGLRU's isolate_folios() so the decisions are easier to read and
   verify.  Keep reclaim behavior unchanged while removing unnecessary twists
   in the control flow.
 
 - "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions" (Yury Norov):
 
   Catch IDA and maple-tree definitions placed in automatic storage where the
   lifetime rules are wrong or easy to get wrong.  Add checks so such mistakes
   are harder to slip through unnoticed.
 
 - "mm, swap: some random fixes and cleanups" (Kemeng Shi):
 
   Fix and simplify a few unrelated swap paths, removing redundant work and
   tidying up error handling.  A small collection of things which were better
   fixed than left lying around.
 
 - "mm/page_io: folio conversion cleanups" (Tal Zussman):
 
   Finish some page-to-folio conversions in swap I/O, removing obsolete
   wrappers and using folio operations consistently.  The I/O behavior is
   intended to remain the same.
 
 - "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan" (Youngjun Park):
 
   Skip empty swap clusters during swapoff instead of walking slots which have
   nothing to release.  This avoids pointless work on sparsely used swap
   devices.
 
 - "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags" (Meijing Zhao):
 
   Teach the VMA trace output to decode architecture-specific flags, rather
   than leaving them as unexplained bits.  That should make tracing a good
   deal more useful when debugging unusual mappings.
 
 - "mm, swap: don't spin on a bad swap entry" (Breno Leitao):
 
   Stop repeatedly retrying a swap entry which is already known to be bad.
   Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU chasing an
   entry that cannot be used.
 
 - "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in
   isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi):
 
   Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten its
   associated boundary handling.  UBSAN found the issue; the result should be
   more robust pageblock isolation.
 
 - "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang):
 
   Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling.  Make sure the
   information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace event
   needs it.
 
 - "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park):
 
   Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and
   virtual-address backends.  The changes close error cases and bring the
   implementations back into agreement.
 
 - "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio" (Hongfu
   Li):
 
   Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between nodes or
   are reparented to another cgroup.  Otherwise numa_stat can retain stale
   charges and even underflow when the folio is freed.
 
 - "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify kmalloc"
   (Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):
 
   Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up some
   kmalloc guidance.  Make it easier for callers to choose the right
   interface.
 
 - "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup" (Tianyi
   Chen):
 
   Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret setup to
   the cases that actually need it.  Avoid confusing failures caused by the
   test harness itself.
 
 - "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core layer"
   (SJ Park):
 
   Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making each
   user of the interface invent its own rule.  Keep quota decisions consistent
   across callers.
 
 - "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto tuning"
   (Asier Gutierrez):
 
   Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages.  Use
   monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than
   forcing one fixed policy onto every workload.
 
 - "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default" (Breno
   Leitao):
 
   Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third confirming
   scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak.  The extra scan helps
   suppress transient false positives in noisy debug builds.
 
 - "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss):
 
   Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are reported and
   cleaned up consistently.  The caller should not have to guess how far the
   operation got.
 
 - "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for damon_call()" (SJ
   Park):
 
   Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely.
   Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an invalid
   state.
 
 - "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park):
 
   Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another way to
   select pages by their idle-tracking state.  Wire it through the filter
   interfaces and tests.
 
 - "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu):
 
   Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers.  Keep the API
   surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case.
 
 - "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price):
 
   Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct page.
   The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the normal-folio
   checks and handle those mappings properly.
 
 - "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman):
 
   Remove three unused helpers from mm.h.  Fewer obsolete interfaces for the
   next person to stumble over.
 
 - "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents" (Liew Rui
   Yan):
 
   Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a missing
   sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments.  The ignored error could make a
   monitoring-start request appear successful when it wasn't.
 
 - "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui Yan):
 
   Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation and
   straighten out the associated terminology.  Make it clearer what users
   should expect from that counter.
 
 - "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson Felipe
   Pereira):
 
   Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs.  Wait for the exiting
   child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and avoid
   another test assumption which breaks under constrained scheduling.
 
 - "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu):
 
   Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment.  Keep
   the description aligned with how the advisor actually works.
 
 - "Fix bugs in HugeTLB allocation when mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() fails"
   (Ackerley Tng):
 
   Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails.  Make sure
   failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale accounting
   or resources behind.
 
 - "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark" (Ridong
   Chen):
 
   Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor doesn't
   overwrite the watermark kept for another.  Keep those per-open measurements
   independent as intended.
 
 - "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory Price):
 
   Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle them.
   Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has ordinary
   system-memory backing.
 
 - "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon):
 
   Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything.  There is
   no reason to keep maintaining dead paths.

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2026-10-19-21-33' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - "selftests/mm: improve khugepaged coverage" (Kiryl Shutsemau):

   Give khugepaged a proper workout. Extend the tests to all supported
   mTHP orders, check exactly which windows collapsed, and make scan
   completion deterministic. Race collapse against faults, pinning, fork
   and remap; verify that the contents survive.

   Add coverage for whole-page-table zaps and memory pressure too.

 - "selftests/mm: separate GUP microbenchmarking from functional testing"
   (Sarthak Sharma):

   Untangle GUP benchmarking from correctness testing. Move the
   benchmark into tools/mm, add a standalone harness-based GUP selftest,
   and move shared helpers into tools/lib/mm. Give each tool one job
   instead of mixing timing measurements with correctness checks.

   Cover the mapping, pinning and batch-size combinations explicitly.

 - "mm: Switch device DAX to section-based vmemmap optimization" (Muchun
   Song):

   Apply section-based vmemmap optimization to device DAX. Rework the
   backing metadata layout to save memory while preserving the handling
   of device memory hotplug and its different alignment and lifetime
   requirements.

 - "mm: Introduce section-based vmemmap optimization for HugeTLB"
   (Muchun Song):

   Cut the memory consumed by HugeTLB's struct page array with
   section-based vmemmap optimization. Arrange the metadata so large
   huge pages need fewer backing pages, while keeping initialization,
   teardown and the various hugepage configurations straight.

 - "mm/huge_memory: clean up and decouple the anon and file split
   helpers" (Kairui Song):

   Separate anonymous and file-backed folio splitting, which have rather
   different locking and bookkeeping requirements. Move the work into
   separate helpers, drop dead checks and tidy swap-cache handling. Fix
   error paths, including one that could leave a folio frozen.

   Keep the swap cache cases separate from file-cache splitting.

 - "mm: Unconditional per-VMA locks and cleanups" (Dave Hansen):

   Make per-VMA locking unconditional and clean up the old conditional
   code around it. This removes configuration-dependent plumbing and
   lets callers depend on one locking model rather than carrying both
   cases along.

 - "memcg: remove the v1 soft limit" (Shakeel Butt):

   Remove the old cgroup v1 memory soft-limit machinery. This has long
   since been superseded by the newer memory-control interfaces; hauling
   around a separate reclaim scheme for it no longer buys us much.

 - "read proc/pid/smaps_rollup under per-vma lock" (Suren Baghdasaryan):

   Read /proc/PID/smaps_rollup using per-VMA locks where possible,
   rather than holding mmap_lock across the entire walk. Retain the
   contention fallback and add tearing tests. This considerably reduces
   latency when another thread is busy changing its mappings.

 - "mm/damon: introduce data access-as-a-data attribute" (SJ Park):

   Teach DAMON to expose memory access observations as data attributes,
   making them available to the probe and filtering machinery. Extend
   the interfaces, documentation and tests so the new information can be
   used rather than merely collected.

 - "Remove PG_private by using page/folio->private checks instead" (Zi
   Yan):

   Get rid of PG_private and use the folio's private pointer to say
   whether private data is attached. Convert the filesystem users,
   including erofs, f2fs and md, and clean up the old accessors and
   flags. There are a few special cases, notably swapcache and hugetlb,
   which need explicit care.

 - "mm: make userland page table freeing RCU-safe" (Lorenzo Stoakes):

   Make freeing userspace page tables safe against RCU readers. Sort out
   the page-table lifetime and locking rules so walkers cannot stumble
   over freed tables while mappings are being torn down.

 - "make unused huge shrinker memcg aware" (Qi Zheng):

   Make shmem's unused-huge-folio shrinker aware of memory cgroups, so
   reclaim can find those folios under the right memcg. Wire up the
   per-memcg tracking and its lifetime rules, and give the shrinklist
   its own lockdep class to avoid spurious dependency reports.

 - "mm: Drop pxd_ERROR()" (Anshuman Khandual):

   Remove the old pxd_ERROR() page-table checks and their
   architecture-specific baggage. Simplify the common page-table
   interfaces and callers now that these checks no longer serve a
   useful purpose.

 - "memcg: group struct fields by access pattern" (Shakeel Butt):

   Rearrange memcg's hot and cold fields according to how they're
   actually accessed. Keep frequently updated counters and their
   neighboring state from fighting over cachelines and reduce needless
   cacheline traffic.

 - "mm/damon/core: fix the size charged for a filter-trimmed region"
   (Donggeun Yoo):

   Fix DAMOS quota accounting when a filter trims a monitoring region.
   Charge only the part left after filtering, not the original region,
   and add KUnit coverage. Previously the excluded memory could eat into
   the quota and make schemes run more slowly than requested.

 - "mm/damon: add kunit and selftests for probes and probe weights" (SJ
   Park):

   Add more tests for DAMON probes and their weights, including
   validation and the results reported to userspace. This is mostly
   about catching regressions in the newer probe infrastructure before
   they become harder to diagnose.

 - "mm: memcontrol: constify the read side of the read side of the memcg
   API" (Tal Zussman):

   Mark the read-only parts of the memcg interface const, from folio and
   lruvec accessors to counters and swap helpers. Most of this is
   mechanical, but it makes the contracts clearer and lets the compiler
   catch accidental writes.

 - "mm/damon/vaddr: support {prep,apply}_probes" (SJ Park):

   Support the new prepare/apply probe operations in DAMON's
   virtual-address backend. This brings vaddr monitoring into line with
   the probe infrastructure and makes the added probe types useful there
   too.

 - "mm/mglru: clean up folio counters and flag usage" (Kairui Song):

   Simplify MGLRU's folio counters and flag handling. Remove redundant
   accounting paths and make the state transitions easier to follow
   without changing the intended reclaim policy.

 - "arch, mm/execmem: resolve confusion about set_direct_map_valid_noflush()"
   (Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)):

   Clarify and straighten out the set_direct_map_valid_noflush()
   interface across architectures and execmem. Make the requested
   mapping changes and the callers' expectations agree, rather than
   relying on subtly different architecture behavior.

 - "mm: zswap: free cold writeback folios promptly" (Alexandre Ghiti):

   Free zswap writeback folios as soon as their disk write completes.
   They are cold temporary buffers, so putting them on the LRU only
   makes reclaim rediscover them later. Extend swap-cache dropbehind and
   let zswap keep these folios off the LRU altogether.

 - "mm: gup: cleanup gup_fast call chain" (Aristeu Rozanski):

   Clean up the GUP-fast call chain and simplify how the fast-path
   helpers pass their arguments and results around. Keep the page-pin
   behavior the same while making the call sequence easier to maintain.

 - "mm: optimize zone-device memmap initialization" (Li Zhe):

   Speed up initialization of zone-device struct pages. Avoid redundant
   work when setting up large device-memory ranges, where touching every
   descriptor can get expensive.

 - "mm/zswap: shrink zswap_entry via a pool id" (Jianyue Wu):

   Reduce the size of zswap_entry by storing a compact pool identifier
   instead of a full pointer. Keep the pool lookup and lifetime handling
   correct while saving per-entry metadata.

 - "mm/damon: support access monitoring of hugetlb-backed memory"
   (Krishna Iyer):

   Let DAMON monitor hugetlb-backed memory too. Extend the relevant
   access checks and add coverage so those mappings no longer fall
   through a hole in the monitoring machinery.

 - "mm/execmem: fixes and cleanups for the ROX cache" (Mike Rapoport):

   Tidy execmem's read-only-executable cache and fix its handling of the
   awkward allocation and release cases. The aim is to make the cache's
   ownership and permission transitions more predictable.

 - "zsmallc: remove old object read API" (Sergey Senozhatsky):

   Drop zsmalloc's old object-read API and move its remaining users to
   the supported access mechanism. This removes a duplicate interface
   which we no longer need.

 - "mm/mempolicy: stop copying state in the interleave paths" (Gregory
   Price):

   Stop copying mempolicy state in the interleave paths when a reference
   to the existing policy will do. This avoids extra work and makes the
   ownership rules less obscure.

 - "mm/mglru: speed up inc_min_seq() and fix cold/hot inversions" (Barry
   Song):

   Make MGLRU's generation advancement cheaper and fix cases where cold
   and hot folios end up in the wrong order. Adjust the counter and list
   handling so reclaim doesn't keep passing over the better eviction
   candidates.

 - "mm: Fix MF_DELAYED handling on memory failure" (Lisa Wang):

   Treat MF_DELAYED as a partially completed memory-failure operation,
   not an outright failure. Propagate that result correctly through
   shmem and the generic handler, fix the extra-reference accounting,
   and add tests for the resulting SIGBUS behavior.

 - "tools/mm/page_owner_sort: fix --sort, add module filter, improve
   usage" (Ye Liu):

   Fix page_owner_sort's --sort handling, add module-based filtering and
   make the usage output more helpful. This makes the tool less
   frustrating when tracking down who is holding on to pages.

 - "mm/damon: move damos filter range arguments validation to core" (SJ
   Park):

   Move DAMOS filter range validation into the core, where all callers
   can share it. Also close the sysfs read-twice races which could pass
   inconsistent ranges, and add tests for invalid input.

 - "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (Zenghui Yu):

   Clean up a collection of small DAMON rough edges in the core,
   interfaces and tests. No large behavior change here, just simpler
   code and fewer opportunities for confusion.

 - "mm/damon: cleanup code, add test cases, and update guidances in
   docs" (SJ Park):

   Clean up DAMON's core and interfaces, add missing test cases and
   bring the documentation into line with the code. These changes should
   make the newer facilities easier to understand and maintain.

 - "mm/damon: introduce hugepage_size probe filter" (SJ Park):

   Add a DAMON probe filter for hugepage size. Let users select a range
   of folio sizes through sysfs, validate the range and document the new
   interface, so monitoring can concentrate on memory backed by the
   desired hugepage sizes.

 - "selftests/mm: pagemap_ioctl test fixes and cleanups" (Zenghui Yu):

   Fix some pagemap ioctl test assumptions and clean up their setup and
   reporting. Make failures point to the operation that went wrong
   rather than to test harness bookkeeping.

 - "mm: avoid large folio splits when swap is unavailable" (Johannes
   Weiner):

   Avoid splitting large folios merely to attempt swap when no swap
   space is available. There is little point paying for an expensive
   split when reclaim cannot actually swap the resulting pages out.

 - "mm: workingset: fix the shadow node budget under MGLRU" (Hui Zhu):

   Fix the workingset shadow-node budget with MGLRU enabled. Keep the
   shadow entries within the intended limits so refault tracking does
   not quietly consume more metadata than it should.

 - "selftests/mm: TAP output and global-state fixes" (Song Hu):

   Fix selftests which produce misleading TAP output or fail to restore
   global settings after a run. A test ought to leave the system as it
   found it, particularly when a whole suite follows behind.

 - "mm: remove page_swap_entry()" (Tal Zussman):

   Remove page_swap_entry() and convert its remaining users to the folio
   and swap-entry helpers. Lose an old page-level interface and make the
   swap paths a little more consistent.

 - "mm: refactor zonelist constructors and iterators" (Gregory Price):

   Refactor the zonelist construction and walk helpers to reduce
   duplicated logic. Keep the allocation ordering rules intact while
   making it clearer how zones are selected.

 - "mm: kmemleak: batch the struct page scan" (Breno Leitao):

   Scan adjacent struct pages in batches instead of taking kmemleak_lock
   once for every single page. This preserves scan coverage and the
   lock-hold bound, while cutting overhead substantially on debug
   kernels.

 - "mm/damon: misc improvements in tests and documents" (Zenghui Yu):

   Fix some DAMON selftests which leave kdamond running or fail under
   Python safe-path mode, and improve the KUnit coverage and
   documentation. Nothing especially glamorous, but these are worth
   doing.

 - "mm/damon: introduce probe_hits_wsum DAMOS core filter" (SJ Park):

   Add a DAMOS core filter using weighted probe-hit counts. This gives
   schemes another way to select regions based on what the monitoring
   probes observed.

 - "mm/mglru: fix ineffective memory protection for non-kswapd reclaim"
   (Ridong Chen):

   Fix MGLRU's memory protection handling for reclaim outside kswapd.
   The protection settings weren't having the intended effect in these
   paths, leaving protected memory more exposed than requested.

 - "mm/damon: improve readability, clarity and test coverage" (SJ Park):

   Simplify a handful of DAMON core helpers, clarify their behavior and
   expand test coverage. There are no intended userspace-visible changes
   in this batch.

 - "mm: replace PF_KCOMPACTD/PF_KSWAPD with kthread_func()" (Kefeng
   Wang):

   Stop identifying reclaim and compaction workers through the PF_KSWAPD
   and PF_KCOMPACTD task flags. Use their kthread functions instead and
   remove the redundant flag plumbing.

 - "mm/hugetlb: fix surplus accounting and availability checks during
   demotion" (Longlong Xia):

   Fix HugeTLB surplus accounting and availability checks when demoting
   huge pages. Keep the counters and reservation decisions consistent as
   one huge page turns into several smaller ones.

 - "mm/damon: add kunit tests for probe_hits handling and probe params
   validation" (Jason Angelov):

   Add KUnit tests for DAMON probe-hit handling and invalid probe
   parameters. These cover edge cases that were too easy to miss in
   ordinary monitoring tests.

 - "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in kunit, quota goals and sysfs refresh_ms"
   (SJ Park):

   Fix a few DAMON bugs in KUnit tests, quota-goal handling and the
   sysfs refresh interval. Small fixes, but the incorrect results and
   control behavior were real.

 - "mm: zswap: optimize zswap invalidate and store" (Kefeng Wang):

   Simplify zswap's invalidate and store paths to avoid avoidable
   lookups and work. Keep the entry lifetime rules intact while making
   those frequent operations cheaper.

 - "mm: replace custom ratelimiting logic" (Pedro Falcato):

   Replace hand-rolled MM rate limiting with the common kernel helpers.
   There is no need to maintain another local version of the same
   mechanism.

 - "mm/vmalloc: minor cleanups" (Ye Liu):

   Tidy some vmalloc initialization and reporting code, and pull
   duplicated vmap-area insertion work into a helper. No functional
   changes are intended.

 - "mm/mglru: clean up isolate_folios for readability and clarity"
   (Ridong Chen):

   Clean up MGLRU's isolate_folios() so the decisions are easier to read
   and verify. Keep reclaim behavior unchanged while removing
   unnecessary twists in the control flow.

 - "Catch automatic storage in IDA and Maple Tree definitions" (Yury
   Norov):

   Catch IDA and maple-tree definitions placed in automatic storage
   where the lifetime rules are wrong or easy to get wrong. Add checks
   so such mistakes are harder to slip through unnoticed.

 - "mm, swap: some random fixes and cleanups" (Kemeng Shi):

   Fix and simplify a few unrelated swap paths, removing redundant work
   and tidying up error handling. A small collection of things which
   were better fixed than left lying around.

 - "mm/page_io: folio conversion cleanups" (Tal Zussman):

   Finish some page-to-folio conversions in swap I/O, removing obsolete
   wrappers and using folio operations consistently. The I/O behavior is
   intended to remain the same.

 - "mm/swap: skip empty clusters in the swapoff scan" (Youngjun Park):

   Skip empty swap clusters during swapoff instead of walking slots
   which have nothing to release. This avoids pointless work on sparsely
   used swap devices.

 - "mm: trace: decode architecture-specific VMA flags" (Meijing Zhao):

   Teach the VMA trace output to decode architecture-specific flags,
   rather than leaving them as unexplained bits. That should make
   tracing a good deal more useful when debugging unusual mappings.

 - "mm, swap: don't spin on a bad swap entry" (Breno Leitao):

   Stop repeatedly retrying a swap entry which is already known to be
   bad. Make the error path terminate cleanly instead of wasting CPU
   chasing an entry that cannot be used.

 - "mm/page_isolation: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds in
   isolate_single_pageblock" (Qi Xi):

   Fix an out-of-range shift in isolate_single_pageblock() and tighten
   its associated boundary handling. UBSAN found the issue; the result
   should be more robust pageblock isolation.

 - "mm: khugepaged: fix tracepoint UAF" (Vernon Yang):

   Fix a use-after-free in khugepaged tracepoint handling. Make sure the
   information recorded by tracing stays valid for as long as the trace
   event needs it.

 - "mm/damon: fix DAMOS bugs in core, paddr and vaddr" (SJ Park):

   Fix several DAMOS problems across the core and physical- and
   virtual-address backends. The changes close error cases and bring the
   implementations back into agreement.

 - "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: move the per-node usage along with the folio"
   (Hongfu Li):

   Move HugeTLB per-node usage accounting when folios migrate between
   nodes or are reparented to another cgroup. Otherwise numa_stat can
   retain stale charges and even underflow when the folio is freed.

 - "docs/core-api: memory-allocation: add k[mz]alloc_obj() and clarify
   kmalloc" (Mike Rapoport):

   Document the typed k[mz]alloc_obj() allocation helpers and clear up
   some kmalloc guidance. Make it easier for callers to choose the right
   interface.

 - "selftests/mm: Validate selections and scope memfd_secret setup"
   (Tianyi Chen):

   Check selftest selections before running and confine memfd_secret
   setup to the cases that actually need it. Avoid confusing failures
   caused by the test harness itself.

 - "mm/damon: move zero damos quota target_value handling to the core
   layer" (SJ Park):

   Handle a zero DAMOS quota goal target in the core rather than making
   each user of the interface invent its own rule. Keep quota decisions
   consistent across callers.

 - "mm/damon: Introduce a huge page collapsing mechanism using auto
   tuning" (Asier Gutierrez):

   Add an auto-tuned DAMON mechanism for collapsing huge pages. Use
   monitoring feedback to decide when collapse is worthwhile rather than
   forcing one fixed policy onto every workload.

 - "kmemleak: fix stale documentation and raise the verbose default"
   (Breno Leitao):

   Bring the kmemleak documentation up to date and require a third
   confirming scan before verbose kernels print a suspected leak. The
   extra scan helps suppress transient false positives in noisy debug
   builds.

 - "mm/memory: improve insert_pages() error handling" (Avi Weiss):

   Tighten insert_pages() error handling so partial failures are
   reported and cleaned up consistently. The caller should not have to
   guess how far the operation got.

 - "mm/damon: allow NULL or unstarted damon_ctx parameter for
   damon_call()" (SJ Park):

   Make damon_call() handle NULL and not-yet-started contexts safely.
   Simplify the rules for callers and avoid an indefinite wait on an
   invalid state.

 - "mm/damon: introduce pgidle_set probe filter type" (SJ Park):

   Add a pgidle_set DAMON probe filter, giving monitoring users another
   way to select pages by their idle-tracking state. Wire it through the
   filter interfaces and tests.

 - "mm/damon/core: remove unused helper functions" (Cheng-Han Wu):

   Remove DAMON core helpers which no longer have callers. Keep the API
   surface smaller rather than retaining dead code just in case.

 - "mm: stop calling pmd_folio() on special PMDs" (Gregory Price):

   Avoid calling pmd_folio() on special PMD mappings that have no struct
   page. The old assumption could fault in procfs walkers; use the
   normal-folio checks and handle those mappings properly.

 - "mm: remove three unused helpers from mm.h" (Tal Zussman):

   Remove three unused helpers from mm.h. Fewer obsolete interfaces for
   the next person to stumble over.

 - "mm/damon: improvements in efficiency, error handling, documents"
   (Liew Rui Yan):

   Skip needless DAMOS quota work once the quota is full, propagate a
   missing sysfs error and tidy a couple of comments. The ignored error
   could make a monitoring-start request appear successful when it
   wasn't.

 - "docs/mm/damon/design: add explanation of nr_snapshots" (Liew Rui
   Yan):

   Explain DAMON's nr_snapshots accounting in the design documentation
   and straighten out the associated terminology. Make it clearer what
   users should expect from that counter.

 - "selftests/cgroup: fixes for test_zswap on single core VM" (Wilson
   Felipe Pereira):

   Fix two test_zswap failures on single-CPU VMs. Wait for the exiting
   child's cgroup to become unpopulated before reconfiguring it, and
   avoid another test assumption which breaks under constrained
   scheduling.

 - "docs/ksm: fix advisor documentation and comment" (Jinjiang Tu):

   Correct the KSM advisor documentation and a misleading code comment.
   Keep the description aligned with how the advisor actually works.

   fails" (Ackerley Tng):

   Fix HugeTLB allocation cleanup when the memcg charge fails. Make sure
   failure exits undo what was allocated rather than leaving stale
   accounting or resources behind.

 - "mm, memcg: fix memory.peak reset clobbering other fds' watermark"

   Fix memory.peak reset handling so resetting one file descriptor
   doesn't overwrite the watermark kept for another. Keep those per-open
   measurements independent as intended.

 - "mm: reject zone device folios in more folio walkers" (Gregory
   Price):

   Reject zone-device folios in page walkers that cannot safely handle
   them. Extend the existing checks rather than assuming every folio has
   ordinary system-memory backing.

 - "percpu: remove code with no effect" (Sang-Heon Jeon):

   Remove a few pieces of percpu code which no longer do anything. There
   is no reason to keep maintaining dead paths.

locking/atomic: arc, hexagon, openrisc: Define arch_cmpxchg_local()
Commit ccb88db8da ("bpf: Don't hand out a linked element as extra
element") made alloc_htab_elem() take the per-cpu spare element with
try_cmpxchg_local(), the first caller of cmpxchg_local() outside of
architecture code. It doesn't build on arc, hexagon and openrisc:

  include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h:384:27: error: implicit declaration of function 'arch_cmpxchg_local'; did you mean 'raw_cmpxchg_local'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

raw_cmpxchg_local() maps to arch_cmpxchg_local() unconditionally, but
these three architectures don't define it, and unlike nios2 and
microblaze they don't get it from asm-generic/cmpxchg.h either.

cmpxchg_local() only has to be atomic with respect to the local CPU, so
an architecture's own arch_cmpxchg() can serve for the sizes it
supports. arc uses its relaxed LLOCK/SCOND variant when ARC_HAS_LLSC is
set and its atomic_ops_lock() variant otherwise, and openrisc uses its
LL/SC arch_cmpxchg(), the way arm64, riscv and s390 alias theirs. The
hexagon arch_cmpxchg() only handles 32-bit words, so hexagon uses the
generic version that disables interrupts, like sh, sparc32 and xtensa
do. Linux has no NMIs on hexagon, so that is sufficient there.

ARC: Strip libgcc debug information when generating BTF
ARC links against the compiler's libgcc archive. The ARC GNU 2023.03
toolchain ships this library with debug information, including complex
floating-point types in integer arithmetic helpers such as __udivdi3.
These types reach vmlinux even though the kernel does not use complex
floating-point arithmetic.

When floating-point BTF encoding is enabled, pahole rejects those types:

  Complex, interval and imaginary float types are not supported
  Error while encoding BTF.
  FAILED: load BTF from .tmp_vmlinux1.BTF.1: No such file or directory

KernelCI's upgrade to pahole 1.31 exposed this long-standing problem as
failed ARC builds. As of 1.32, pahole still rejects these types, and
older versions will stay in use, so the kernel build has to keep them
out of vmlinux. Commit f122668ddc ("ARC: Add eBPF JIT support")
documented the same failure along with a workaround of disabling
floating-point BTF encoding, but that also discards supported
floating-point types from kernel BTF.

For CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF, generate a debug-stripped copy of the selected
libgcc archive in the output tree and link that copy. Preserve the archive
structure so that only needed helpers are linked, and use the normal
Kbuild objcopy rule to track input and command changes. The trade-off is
that vmlinux in BTF-enabled builds no longer carries DWARF for the libgcc
helpers. Debug information for kernel code, the installed toolchain and
non-BTF builds stay unchanged.

Reproduced and tested with ARC GCC 12.2.1 and pahole 1.31 and 1.32 using
an ARCv2 tinyconfig with BPF_SYSCALL and DWARF4/BTF enabled. Before and
after vmlinux.o files are identical after stripping debug information.

c1703c8772 ARC: Emulate two-byte cmpxchg
ARC has no two-byte atomic compare and swap, so the
arch_cmpxchg_relaxed() macro switch lets case 2 fall through to
BUILD_BUG() via default, and a two-byte cmpxchg() fails the build.

Route case 2 through the new cmpxchg_emu_u16(), which narrows the
old and new values itself, so the dispatch keeps the (uintptr_t)
casts the case 1 path already uses.

The sizeof(*(_p_)) fix that v4 folded in here landed separately
through Vineet's f050c3e61d, so this patch is now only the
case 2 wiring.

kbuild: Mark the gzip recipes as recursive
Since commit 48ebe1cbbe ("kbuild: compress the kernel with pigz if
available"), cmd_gzip runs pigz through scripts/jobserver-exec, which
takes the job slots make has free. GNU Make passes the jobserver pipe
only to recipes it treats as recursive, but leaves --jobserver-auth in
MAKEFLAGS for all of them. The make 4.3 in CentOS Stream 9 also hides
the pipe in sub-makes (a backport of the fix for GNU Make bug 58232), so
jobserver-exec cannot open it, runs pigz on one thread, and prints:

  WARNING: Unable to reopen jobserver read-side pipe: FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory')

Mark every recipe that can run cmd_gzip as recursive with "+", as
commit ecab4115c4 ("kbuild: mark `rustc` (and others) invocations as
recursive") did for rustc. Besides the $(call if_changed,gzip) rules,
this covers those that choose gzip through a variable: the built-in
initramfs in usr/Makefile (which rcutorture's kvm.sh builds), the EFI
zboot image, and the arm, csky, and mips compressed images. As with
rustc, "make -n" now runs these recipes, including those that choose
through a variable when they select another compressor. Also update the
gzip entry in Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst, as suggested in
review.

Tested with GNU Make 4.3 plus CentOS Stream 9's make-4.3-cloexec.patch,
GCC 16.2.0, and -j64, on ARCH=x86_64, arm64, and arm defconfig, and
ARCH=x86_64 defconfig with a built-in initramfs: none of them prints the
warning, and pigz gets the free job slots (-p 54, 64, and 50 for the
kernel image). Without this change, the x86_64 builds print it for the
kernel image and for the initramfs.

35e340a478 mm: userland pgtable freeing is RCU-safe now, remove leftover bits
Now every architecture has been converted to support
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE, this configuration option no longer
makes any sense to keep around.

Therefore remove it, and remove all the dead code that existed for
!CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE architectures previously.

Additionally, CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is no longer necessary, as all
architectures instead use CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TLB_REMOVE_TABLE when a custom
__tlb_remove_table() is required, so remove this too.

A number of architectures only enabled CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE if
CONFIG_MMU was set, however the mmu_gather logic only actually does
something meaningful if CONFIG_MMU is set (mmu_gather.c is only compiled
in this case, for instance).

As a result, there's no need to gate any of this logic on CONFIG_MMU
explicitly.

CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM however does have a strict dependency on CONFIG_MMU, so
make this dependency explicit.

Additionally, correct comments to remove references to non-RCU page table
gathering and make it clear that this is not 'semi-RCU', nor has it been
since commit 1fb3d8c20b ("mm/mmu_gather: replace IPI with
synchronize_rcu() when batch allocation fails").

With this change in place the kernel policy is now that userspace page
tables are freed after an RCU grace period, and thus it is now safe to
unconditionally perform page table walks under RCU, safe in the knowledge
that page tables will not be freed underneath the walker.

This is all that is guaranteed, however, so naturally it is still
incumbent upon page table walkers to ensure that the page table entries
are as expected.

CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to correctly free page tables under RCU,
so simply update these architectures to use these functions.

Since none of the architectures share page tables or do anything unusual,
nothing complicated is required here.

Therefore this is simply a mechanical change - convert __pud_free_tlb(),
__pmd_free_tlb() and __pte_free_tlb() to use tlb_remove_ptdesc() as
required.

At the point this is in place, all mmu_gather page table freeing is
performed under RCU, and thus MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is selected for
each architecture.

Note that CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is dependent on CONFIG_MMU for
xtensa to reflect the fact that nommu does not implement page table
gathering.

This forms part of an overall effort to switch every architecture to this
mode.

Bradley spotted this snafu when working on two-byte cmpxchg emulation.

which just needed to be wired up.

d12c6a6f0c arc: kernel: Fix clk reference leak in show_cpuinfo()
In show_cpuinfo(), clk_get() acquires a reference to the CPU clock, but
clk_put() is never called to release it. Since show_cpuinfo() is the
seq_file show callback for /proc/cpuinfo, this causes a clock reference
count leak every time /proc/cpuinfo is read.

The frequency is extracted via clk_get_rate() into a local variable, so
the clock reference can be safely released immediately after.

Fix this by calling clk_put(cpu_clk) right after clk_get_rate().

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.

arc_get_cpu_map() fetches the possible-cpus or present-cpus property
from the flat DT and immediately passes the raw pointer to
cpulist_parse(). That parser expects a NUL-terminated text buffer, but
this path does not prove that the DT property is terminated within its
declared bounds.

Reject unterminated CPU-map properties before handing them to
cpulist_parse().

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.

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().

  Several things have been reworked in GPIO core: we unduplicated GPIO
  hog handling, reduced the number of SRCU locks and dereferences,
  improved support for software-node-based lookup and removed more
  legacy code after converting remaining users to modern alternatives.

Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)
3a6455d56b mm: convert do_brk_flags() to use vma_flags_t
In order to be able to do this, we need to change VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS
and friends and update the architecture-specific definitions also.

We then have to update some KSM logic to handle VMA flags, and introduce
VMA_STACK_FLAGS to define the vma_flags_t equivalent of VM_STACK_FLAGS.

We also introduce two helper functions for use during the time we are
converting legacy flags to vma_flags_t values - vma_flags_to_legacy() and
legacy_to_vma_flags().

This enables us to iteratively make changes to break these changes up into
separate parts.

We use these explicitly here to keep VM_STACK_FLAGS around for certain
users which need to maintain the legacy vm_flags_t values for the time
being.

We are no longer able to rely on the simple VM_xxx being set to zero if
the feature is not enabled, so in the case of VM_DROPPABLE we introduce
VMA_DROPPABLE as the vma_flags_t equivalent, which is set to
EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS if the droppable flag is not available.

While we're here, we make the description of do_brk_flags() into a kdoc
comment, as it almost was already.

We use vma_flags_to_legacy() to not need to update the vm_get_page_prot()
logic as this time.

Note that in create_init_stack_vma() we have to replace the BUILD_BUG_ON()
with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() as the tested values are no longer build time
available.

We also update mprotect_fixup() to use VMA flags where possible, though we
have to live with a little duplication between vm_flags_t and vma_flags_t
values for the time being until further conversions are made.

While we're here, update VM_SPECIAL to be defined in terms of
VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS now we have vma_flags_to_legacy().

Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect these changes.

6215d9f447 arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page
Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of
ZERO_PAGE() to 4.

Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the
most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions
of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page).

Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the
core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement
colored zero page (MIPS and s390).

ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static
inline causes severe pain in header dependencies.

For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy:

* alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot
  parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing
  and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only
* arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of
  ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact.
* m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock,
  although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS
  will work fine.
* sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it
  can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE()
  but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to
  empty_zero_page.
* sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot.
  Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic
  empty_zero_page.
* hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page

	/* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */

  that unfortunately had to go :)

kbuild: Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS
Commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].

Commit ddc6cbef3e ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.

Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

b4171fd0b0 ARC: Always use SWAPE instructions for __arch_swab32()
Since commit 67a697e7576 ("ARC: retire ARC750 support") all supported
CPUs have the 'swape' instruction.

Always use the implementation of __arch_swabe() which uses 'swape'.
ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP can not be used as that results on libcalls on
-mcpu=arc700.

As as side-effect, remove a leak of an internal kconfig symbol through
the UAPI headers.

d49004c5f0 arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory map
To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture
calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone
limits.

Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between
allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map.  Some
architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain
cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes
hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init().

With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it
is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup
code.  Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a
single place.

This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and
initialization.

Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and
place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately
after setup_arch().

After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations
and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map
initialization among different architectures.

As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to
mm_core_early_init().

7988e85189 arc: introduce arch_zone_limits_init()
Move calculations of zone limits to a dedicated arch_zone_limits_init()
function.

Later MM core will use this function as an architecture specific callback
during nodes and zones initialization and thus there won't be a need to
call free_area_init() from every architecture.

8e38607aa4 treewide: provide a generic clear_user_page() variant
Patch series "mm: folio_zero_user: clear page ranges", v11.

This series adds clearing of contiguous page ranges for hugepages.

The series improves on the current discontiguous clearing approach in two
ways:

  - clear pages in a contiguous fashion.
  - use batched clearing via clear_pages() wherever exposed.

The first is useful because it allows us to make much better use of
hardware prefetchers.

The second, enables advertising the real extent to the processor.  Where
specific instructions support it (ex.  string instructions on x86; "mops"
on arm64 etc), a processor can optimize based on this because, instead of
seeing a sequence of 8-byte stores, or a sequence of 4KB pages, it sees a
larger unit being operated on.

For instance, AMD Zen uarchs (for extents larger than LLC-size) switch to
a mode where they start eliding cacheline allocation.  This is helpful not
just because it results in higher bandwidth, but also because now the
cache is not evicting useful cachelines and replacing them with zeroes.

Demand faulting a 64GB region shows performance improvement:

 $ perf bench mem mmap -p $pg-sz -f demand -s 64GB -l 5

                       baseline              +series
                   (GBps +- %stdev)      (GBps +- %stdev)

   pg-sz=2MB       11.76 +- 1.10%        25.34 +- 1.18% [*]   +115.47%  	preempt=*

   pg-sz=1GB       24.85 +- 2.41%        39.22 +- 2.32%       + 57.82%  	preempt=none|voluntary
   pg-sz=1GB         (similar)           52.73 +- 0.20% [#]   +112.19%  	preempt=full|lazy

 [*] This improvement is because switching to sequential clearing
  allows the hardware prefetchers to do a much better job.

 [#] For pg-sz=1GB a large part of the improvement is because of the
  cacheline elision mentioned above. preempt=full|lazy improves upon
  that because, not needing explicit invocations of cond_resched() to
  ensure reasonable preemption latency, it can clear the full extent
  as a single unit. In comparison the maximum extent used for
  preempt=none|voluntary is PROCESS_PAGES_NON_PREEMPT_BATCH (32MB).

  When provided the full extent the processor forgoes allocating
  cachelines on this path almost entirely.

  (The hope is that eventually, in the fullness of time, the lazy
   preemption model will be able to do the same job that none or
   voluntary models are used for, allowing us to do away with
   cond_resched().)

Raghavendra also tested previous version of the series on AMD Genoa and
sees similar improvement [1] with preempt=lazy.

  $ perf bench mem map -p $page-size -f populate -s 64GB -l 10

                    base               patched              change
   pg-sz=2MB       12.731939 GB/sec    26.304263 GB/sec     106.6%
   pg-sz=1GB       26.232423 GB/sec    61.174836 GB/sec     133.2%


This patch (of 8):

Let's drop all variants that effectively map to clear_page() and provide
it in a generic variant instead.

We'll use the macro clear_user_page to indicate whether an architecture
provides it's own variant.

Also, clear_user_page() is only called from the generic variant of
clear_user_highpage(), so define it only if the architecture does not
provide a clear_user_highpage().  And, for simplicity define it in
linux/highmem.h.

Note that for parisc, clear_page() and clear_user_page() map to
clear_page_asm(), so we can just get rid of the custom clear_user_page()
implementation.  There is a clear_user_page_asm() function on parisc, that
seems to be unused.  Not sure what's up with that.

   Chunyu Hu fixes some issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code.
 
 - The 2 patch series "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from
   Suren Baghdasaryan addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new

 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and
   DAMON_RECLAIM" from Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in
   furtherance of supporting arm highmem.
 
 - The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix
   warnings" from Muhammad Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code
   and fixes the fallout, by removing dead code.
 
 - The 10 patch series "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM
   Reaper Traversal Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements
   in the OOM killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim
   threads so they can release resources.
 
 - The 5 patch series "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18"
   from SeongJae Park is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON.
 
 - The 7 patch series "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization
   check function" from SeongJae Park implement reliability and
   maintainability improvements to a recently-added bug fix.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and
   non-idle ages" from SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to
   userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information.
 
 - The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse"
   from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of
   anon VMAs.  It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against
   an anon vma.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in
   compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards

   clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems.
 
 - The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from
   Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking
   of large folios.  /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate.
 
 - The 2 patch series "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters
   during fork" from Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats
   inaccuracies across forks and adds selftest code to verify these
   counters.

   Yang addresses some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's
   mm_slot handling.

   performance and reduces the failure rate of swap cluster allocation

 - "support large align and nid in Rust allocators" from Vitaly Wool
   permits Rust allocators to set NUMA node and large alignment when
   perforning slub and vmalloc reallocs

 - "mm/damon/vaddr: support stat-purpose DAMOS" from Yueyang Pan extend
   DAMOS_STAT's handling of the DAMON operations sets for virtual
   address spaces for ops-level DAMOS filters

 - "execute PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl under per-vma lock" from Suren
   Baghdasaryan reduces mmap_lock contention during reads of
   /proc/pid/maps

 - "mm/mincore: minor clean up for swap cache checking" from Kairui Song
   performs some cleanup in the swap code

 - "mm: vm_normal_page*() improvements" from David Hildenbrand provides
   code cleanup in the pagemap code

 - "add persistent huge zero folio support" from Pankaj Raghav provides
   a block layer speedup by optionalls making the
   huge_zero_pagepersistent, instead of releasing it when its refcount
   falls to zero

 - "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a few touchups to
   the recently added Kexec Handover feature

 - "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To end the constant
   struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with 64-bit's
   needs

 - "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li cleans up some swap
   code

 - "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip unsupported tests" from
   Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests code

 - "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when advised"
   from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of
   THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the
   system".

   It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations

 - "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
   the memdesc project. Please see

      https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
      https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc

 - "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from Chi Zhiling
   improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path

 - "Better split_huge_page_test result check" from Zi Yan improves our
   folio splitting selftest code

 - "test that rmap behaves as expected" from Wei Yang adds some rmap
   selftests

 - "remove write_cache_pages()" from Christoph Hellwig removes that
   function and converts its two remaining callers

 - "selftests/mm: uffd-stress fixes" from Dev Jain fixes some UFFD
   selftests issues

 - "introduce kernel file mapped folios" from Boris Burkov introduces
   the concept of "kernel file pages". Using these permits btrfs to
   account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather than to the
   cgroups of random inappropriate tasks

 - "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some pageblock handling" from
   Wei Yang provides some readability improvements to the page allocator
   code

 - "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae Park teaches DAMON
   to understand arm32 highmem

 - "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests" from
   Brendan Jackman performs some code cleanups and deduplication under
   tools/testing/

 - "maple_tree: Fix testing for 32bit compiles" from Liam Howlett fixes
   a couple of 32-bit issues in tools/testing/radix-tree.c

 - "kasan: unify kasan_enabled() and remove arch-specific
   implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN arch-specific
   initialization code into a common arch-neutral implementation

 - "mm: remove zpool" from Johannes Weiner removes zspool - an
   indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
   (zsmalloc)

 - "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from Pasha Tatashin makes a
   couple of cleanups in the fork code

 - "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand makes rather a lot of
   adjustments at various nth_page() callsites, eventually permitting
   the removal of that undesirable helper function

 - "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun
   creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's
   memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is
   suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only

 - "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation" from Kefeng Wang does
   some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code

 - "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max
   Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API functions more accurate
   about the constness of their arguments. This was getting in the way
   of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they attempt to improving
   their own const/non-const accuracy

 - "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola fixes a number of
   code sites which were confused over when to use free_pages() vs
   __free_pages()

 - "Add Rust abstraction for Maple Trees" from Alice Ryhl makes the
   mapletree code accessible to Rust. Required by nouveau and by its
   forthcoming successor: the new Rust Nova driver

 - "selftests/mm: split_huge_page_test: split_pte_mapped_thp
   improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and some cleanups to
   the thp selftesting code

 - "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache (phase I)" from Chris
   Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the path to implementing
   "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation and state tracking
   which is expected to yield speed and space improvements. This
   patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit in some situations

 - "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes the new memdesc
   layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little

 - "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from Chunyu Hu fixes some
   issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code

 - "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from Suren Baghdasaryan
   addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new memory
   allocation profiling feature

 - "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few cleanups in
   preparation for more memdesc work

 - "mm/damon: add addr_unit for DAMON_LRU_SORT and DAMON_RECLAIM" from
   Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in furtherance of supporting
   arm highmem

 - "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix warnings" from Muhammad
   Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code and fixes the
   fallout, by removing dead code

 - "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM Reaper Traversal
   Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements in the OOM
   killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim threads so
   they can release resources

 - "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18" from SeongJae Park
   is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON

 - "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization check function" from
   SeongJae Park implement reliability and maintainability improvements
   to a recently-added bug fix

 - "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and non-idle ages" from
   SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to userspace clients
   of the DAMON_STAT information

 - "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse" from Dev Jain removes
   some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of anon VMAs. It also
   increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against an anon vma

 - "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()"
   from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards removal of
   file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon clearing up
   the treatment of stacked filesystems

 - "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from Kiryl Shutsemau
   provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking of large
   folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate

 - "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters during fork" from
   Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats inaccuracies across
   forks and adds selftest code to verify these counters

 - "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei Yang addresses
   some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's mm_slot handling

35561bab76 arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.c
The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.
