Here is the big set of tty/serial driver changes for 6.19-rc1. Nothing
major at all, just small constant churn to make the tty layer "cleaner"
as well as serial driver updates and even a new test added! Included in
here are:
- More tty/serial cleanups from Jiri
- tty tiocsti test added to hopefully ensure we don't regress in this
area again
- sc16is7xx driver updates
- imx serial driver updates
- 8250 driver updates
- new hardware device ids added
- other minor serial/tty driver cleanups and tweaks
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues
other than a merge-conflict that you will have when you merge into your
tree (should be simple to resolve, just delete the code on both sides
of the merge).

Remove ansi_cprng, since it's obsolete and unused, as confirmed at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/aQxpnckYMgAAOLpZ@gondor.apana.org.au/
This was originally added in 2008, apparently as a FIPS approved random
number generator. Whether this has ever belonged upstream is
questionable. Either way, ansi_cprng is no longer usable for this
purpose, since it's been superseded by the more modern algorithms in
crypto/drbg.c, and FIPS itself no longer allows it. (NIST SP 800-131A
Rev 1 (2015) says that RNGs based on ANSI X9.31 will be disallowed after
2015. NIST SP 800-131A Rev 2 (2019) confirms they are now disallowed.)
Therefore, there is no reason to keep it around.

In 3.7, 8250 was unintentionally renamed to 8250_core. This happened in
the commit 835d844d1a (8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe).
This made 8250.<xxxx> module options effectively defunct. Instead,
8250_core.<xxxx> worked.
In 3.9, the commit f2b8dfd9e4 (serial: 8250: Keep 8250.<xxxx> module
options functional after driver rename) made the original options work
again by introducing a hack.
Later in 3.9, the commit 9196d8acd7 (TTY: 8250, revert module name
change) changed the module name back to 8250 (from 8250_core). Since
then, the hack was there to support the transient 8250_core.<xxxx>
options. Those were present only in the 3.7..3.9 range.
These transient options were deprecated by 9326b047e4 (TTY: 8250,
deprecated 8250_core.* options) in v3.9 too.
Now, after those 12 years, it is time to get rid of this hack
completely.

removed the obsolete EXT3_CONFIG options, since it had been over a
decade since fs/ext3 had been removed. Unfortunately, there were a
number of defconfigs that still used CONFIG_EXT3_FS which the cleanup
commit didn't fix up. This led to a large number of defconfig test

Hildenbrand provides code cleanup in the pagemap code.
- The 5 patch series "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.
- The 3 patch series "kho: fixes and cleanups" from Mike Rapoport adds a
few touchups to the recently added Kexec Handover feature.
- The 10 patch series "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.
- The 2 patch series "mm/swapfile.c and swap.h cleanup" from Chris Li
cleans up some swap code.
- The 7 patch series "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip

- The 7 patch series "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.
- The 11 patch series "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.
- The 3 patch series "Tiny optimization for large read operations" from
Chi Zhiling improves the efficiency of the pagecache read path.

permits btrfs to account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather
than to the cgroups of random inappropriate tasks.
- The 2 patch series "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some
pageblock handling" from Wei Yang provides some readability improvements
to the page allocator code.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae

arch-specific implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN
arch-specific initialization code into a common arch-neutral
implementation.

zspool - an indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
(zsmalloc).
- The 2 patch series "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from
Pasha Tatashin makes a couple of cleanups in the fork code.
- The 37 patch series "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.
- The 2 patch series "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.
- The 3 patch series "mm: hugetlb: cleanup hugetlb folio allocation"
from Kefeng Wang does some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code.
- The 12 patch series "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.
- The 7 patch series "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().
- The 3 patch series "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.
- The 2 patch series "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.
- The 14 patch series "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.
- The 3 patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes
the new memdesc layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little.
- The 3 patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from
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
memory allocation profiling feature.
- The 3 patch series "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few
cleanups in preparation for more memdesc work.
- 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
removal of file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon
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.
- The 2 patch series "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.

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

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

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.

Lots of functions in mm/highmem.c do not write to the given pointers and
do not call functions that take non-const pointers and can therefore be
constified.
This includes functions like kunmap() which might be implemented in a way
that writes to the pointer (e.g. to update reference counters or mapping
fields), but currently are not.
kmap() on the other hand cannot be made const because it calls
set_page_address() which is non-const in some
architectures/configurations.

Call kasan_init_generic() which handles Generic KASAN initialization. For
architectures that do not select ARCH_DEFER_KASAN, this will be a no-op
for the runtime flag but will print the initialization banner.
For SW_TAGS and HW_TAGS modes, their respective init functions will handle
the flag enabling, if they are enabled/implemented.

Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t".
At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct
folio. This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags'
word of all three structures. This gives us a certain amount of type
safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different
from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID,
section number and zone number in the upper bits. That lets us have
functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or
page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone.
There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits
of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something
similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f
instead. That's most of the churn here. Maybe we should be removing
these things from the debug output?
This patch (of 11):
Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef. In upcoming patches, this will
provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to
functions which take this as an argument.

While tracking down a problem where constant expressions used by
BUILD_BUG_ON() suddenly stopped working[1], we found that an added static
initializer was convincing the compiler that it couldn't track the state
of the prior statically initialized value. Tracing this down found that
ffs() was used in the initializer macro, but since it wasn't marked with
__attribute__const__, the compiler had to assume the function might
change variable states as a side-effect (which is not true for ffs(),
which provides deterministic math results).
Add missing __attribute_const__ annotations to Xtensa's implementations
of ffs(), __ffs(), fls(), __fls(), ffz() functions. These are pure
mathematical functions that always return the same result for the
same input with no side effects, making them eligible for compiler
optimization.

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.
While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.
Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
after lengthy discussions.
Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
operations.
These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.
XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
directory.
The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
in the case when special files are created in the directory with
already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
files.
In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
legacy ioctls anymore"

Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode
extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and
pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat()
semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended
attributes.
This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference
that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path
instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended
attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This
is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files
we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd.
This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set
extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory
and a path - *at() like syscall.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"

* tag 'xtensa-20250603' of https://github.com/jcmvbkbc/linux-xtensa:
arch: xtensa: defconfig: Drop obsolete CONFIG_NET_CLS_TCINDEX
xtensa: migrate to the generic rule for built-in DTB
xtensa: ptrace: Remove zero-length alignment array
simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a
folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must
implement to provide this.
- The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox
is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which
clean things up and better prepare us for future work.
- The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment
advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from
leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not
aligned to memory block size.
- The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive
compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly,
hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation
of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest
VM's memory consumption was dramatic.
- The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing
code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency
improvement to this part of our swap handling code.
- The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API"
from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls
arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that
are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number,
syscall arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report
guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more
efficiently get at the info about guard regions.
- The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()"
from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected
because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode()
rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into
the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in
favor of using more current facilities.
- The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64"
from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the
pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table
Descriptors are enabled for ARM.
- The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables"
from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for
kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the
addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page
tables". This change does result in various architectures performing
unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur.
- The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and
mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM
structures.
- The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"
from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities
which we've been missing for 15 years.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED
and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB
flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec,
we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- The 6 patch series "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation
counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit
percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was
dramaticelly reduced.
- The 3 patch series "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when
reading the code.
- The 3 patch series ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in
weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave
policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling,
fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory
hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to
hit.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups
including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota
goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when
utilizing DAMON for memory tiering.
- The 5 patch series "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from
Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which
Baoquan found via code inspection.
- The 2 patch series "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion"
from Gregory Price "changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective
during demotion when possible". because "presently, reclaim explicitly
ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated." "This is useful for isolating workloads on a
multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently."
- The 2 patch series ""Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove
unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and
efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- The 3 patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang
creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory
utilization.
- The 4 patch series "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and
lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness="
argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive
reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios.
- The 17 patch series "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike
Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to
maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based
kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- The 7 patch series "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David
Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range.
By skipping ranges of invalid pfns.
- The 2 patch series "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to
one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless
VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic
performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- The 2 patch series "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of
creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces
the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
this.
- "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
and better prepare us for future work.
- "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory
Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
block size.
- "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
memory consumption was dramatic.
- "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
this part of our swap handling code.
- "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
at the info about guard regions.
- "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
using more current facilities.
- "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
enabled for ARM.
- "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
it already is for user pgtables.
This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
to protect page tables". This change does result in various
architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.
- "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.
- "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
been missing for 15 years.
- "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.
Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.
stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
reduced.
- "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.
- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.
- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.
- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.
- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.
- "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.
- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.
This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
rather than file-backed folios.
- "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
ranges of invalid pfns.
- "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.
Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
using JFS.
- "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
appropriate mm/vma.c.
- "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song

of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().
The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with

Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect.
- The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong
implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)"
from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then
using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed.
- The 2 patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry
Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been
deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from
Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No
runtime effects are anticipated.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations
from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in
the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.
- The 12 patch series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code"
from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.
- The 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible
output.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and
schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
handling of large folios.
- The 3 patch series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless
damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the
accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.
- The 3 patch series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from
Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io
and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is
preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields.
- The 4 patch series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS
filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering
by huge page sizes.
- The 4 patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem
mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
file-backed mappings.
- The 4 patch series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for
pte-mapped large folios.
- The 18 patch series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from
Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
microbenchmark.
- The 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation
fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the
DAMON docs.
- The 27 patch series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from
Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
when using CMA on large machines.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped
pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
page's mapped/unmapped status.
- The 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
operations preemptibly.
- The 12 patch series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run
them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which
Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests.
- The 2 patch series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap"
from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
determine whether a particular page is a guard page.
- The 7 patch series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't
being effective.
- The 5 patch series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)"
from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
code.
- The 5 patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman
Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the
GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic.
- The 8 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from
SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.
- The 5 patch series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some
issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did
this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
vmalloc.
- The 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code
easier to follow.
- The 3 patch series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from
Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase
which we accidentally added late last year.
- The 3 patch series "Add a command line option that enables control of
how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
initialization.
- The 3 patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages()
for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
balancing code.
- The 9 patch series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters
useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow
and reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the
documention is updated accordingly.
- The 5 patch series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry
Ahmed updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits
the removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.
- The 6 patch series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang
does as it claims.
- The 20 patch series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts"
from Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
checks.

is a preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.
- The 20 patch series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb)
+ CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped
exclusively into a single MM.
- The 8 patch series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS
filters based on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of
new sysfs directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.
- The 13 patch series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()"

mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical.
- The 13 patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via
damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs
access to DAMON internal data.
- The 3 patch series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from
Luiz Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time
crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and
cmdline options.
- The 8 patch series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split"
from Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The
main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios are
generated.
- The 2 patch series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split"
from Zi Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated
during an xarray split.
- The 2 patch series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan

- The 5 patch series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes
Weiner makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing
fragmentation.

Pache introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon
drivers.

separately for file and anon pages.
- The 2 patch series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.
- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.
- The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
effects are anticipated.
- The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.
- The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.
- The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
user-visible output.
- The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
handling of large folios.
- The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.
- The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
work for the future removal of page structure fields.
- The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
huge page sizes.
- The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
file-backed mappings.
- The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
for pte-mapped large folios.
- The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
microbenchmark.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and
improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON
docs.
- The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
when using CMA on large machines.
- The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
page's mapped/unmapped status.
- The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
operations preemptibly.
- The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
encountered while runnimg our selftests.
- The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
determine whether a particular page is a guard page.
- The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
wasn't being effective.
- The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
code.
- The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
Kconfig logic.
- The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.
- The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
vmalloc.
- The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
code easier to follow.

many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
initialization.
- The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
balancing code.
- The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
is updated accordingly.
- The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.
- The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
it claims.
- The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
checks.
- The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a
preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.
- The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) +
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped

- The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based
on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.
- The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from

main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios
are generated.
- The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi
Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during
an xarray split.

The point where the memory is released from memblock to the buddy
allocator is hidden inside arch-specific mem_init()s and the call to
memblock_free_all() is needlessly duplicated in every artiste cure and
after introduction of arch_mm_preinit() hook, mem_init() implementation on
many architecture only contains the call to memblock_free_all().
Pull memblock_free_all() call into mm_core_init() and drop mem_init() on
relevant architectures to make it more explicit where the free memory is
released from memblock to the buddy allocator and to reduce code
duplication in architecture specific code.

All architectures that support HIGHMEM have their code that frees high
memory pages to the buddy allocator while __free_memory_core() is limited
to freeing only low memory.
There is no actual reason for that. The memory map is completely ready by
the time memblock_free_all() is called and high pages can be released to
the buddy allocator along with low memory.
Remove low memory limit from __free_memory_core() and drop per-architecture
code that frees high memory pages.

high_memory defines upper bound on the directly mapped memory. This bound
is defined by the beginning of ZONE_HIGHMEM when a system has high memory
and by the end of memory otherwise.
All this is known to generic memory management initialization code that
can set high_memory while initializing core mm structures.
Add a generic calculation of high_memory to free_area_init() and remove
per-architecture calculation except for the architectures that set and use
high_memory earlier than that.
