Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

 - Move the TINY_RCU kvfree_rcu() implementation from RCU to SLAB
   subsystem and cleanup its integration (Vlastimil Babka)

   Following the move of the TREE_RCU batching kvfree_rcu()
   implementation in 6.14, move also the simpler TINY_RCU variant.
   Refactor the #ifdef guards so that the simple implementation is also
   used with SLUB_TINY.

   Remove the need for RCU to recognize fake callback function pointers
   (__is_kvfree_rcu_offset()) when handling call_rcu() by implementing a
   callback that calculates the object's address from the embedded
   rcu_head address without knowing its offset.

 - Improve kmalloc cache randomization in kvmalloc (GONG Ruiqi)

   Due to an extra layer of function call, all kvmalloc() allocations
   used the same set of random caches. Thanks to moving the kvmalloc()
   implementation to slub.c, this is improved and randomization now
   works for kvmalloc.

 - Various improvements to debugging, testing and other cleanups (Hyesoo
   Yu, Lilith Gkini, Uladzislau Rezki, Matthew Wilcox, Kevin Brodsky, Ye
   Bin)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
