<content type='text'>
Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int.  This will better
reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code.

This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not
returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper
32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).

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
   provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
   function.

 - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.

 - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
   addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
   test_memcontrol selftest.

 - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
   Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
   of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().

   The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
   things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.

 - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
   the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.

   This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
   NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.

 - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
   documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
   DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
   documents.

 - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
   stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
   charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.

 - "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio
   instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the
   hugetlb code.

<title>mm: call ctor/dtor for kernel PTEs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:49f5996664201a3581ee5ea5949ee7d5fafb9d86</id>
<content type='text'>
Since [1], constructors/destructors are expected to be called for all page
table pages, at all levels and for both user and kernel pgtables.  There
is however one glaring exception: kernel PTEs are managed via separate
helpers (pte_alloc_kernel/pte_free_kernel), which do not call the [cd]tor,
at least not in the generic implementation.

The most obvious reason for this anomaly is that init_mm is special-cased
not to use split page table locks.  As a result calling ptlock_init() for
PTEs associated with init_mm would be wasteful, potentially resulting in
dynamic memory allocation.  However, pgtable [cd]tors perform other
actions - currently related to accounting/statistics, and potentially more
functionally significant in the future.

Now that pagetable_pte_ctor() is passed the associated mm, we can make it
skip the call to ptlock_init() for init_mm; this allows us to call the
ctor from pte_alloc_one_kernel() too.  This is matched by a call to the
pgtable destructor in pte_free_kernel(); no special-casing is needed on
that path, as ptlock_free() is already called unconditionally. 
(ptlock_free() is a no-op unless a ptlock was allocated for the given
PTP.)

This patch ensures that all architectures that rely on
&lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; call the [cd]tor for kernel PTEs. 
pte_free_kernel() cannot be overridden so changing the generic
implementation is sufficient.  pte_alloc_one_kernel() can be overridden
using __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_ALLOC_ONE_KERNEL, and a few architectures implement
it by calling the page allocator directly.  We amend those so that they
call the generic __pte_alloc_one_kernel() instead, if possible, ensuring
that the ctor is called.

A few architectures do not use &lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt;; those will be
taken care of separately.

syscall_set_nr() is going to be needed along with syscall_set_arguments()
on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK architectures to implement

<title>mm: introduce a common definition of mk_pte()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cb5b13cd6c9237fe5ac978b22453eb3fa098a8d6</id>
<content type='text'>
Most architectures simply call pfn_pte().  Centralise that as the normal
definition and remove the definition of mk_pte() from the architectures
which have either that exact definition or something similar.

<title>microblaze/mm: put mm_cmdline_setup() in .init.text section</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1b3d3e9f4a32b06ca73b084aa526a352318c74ac</id>
<content type='text'>
As reported by lkp, there is a section mismatch of mm_cmdline_setup() and
memblock.  The reason is we don't specify the section of
mm_cmdline_setup() and gcc put it into .text.unlikely.

As mm_cmdline_setup() is only used in mmu_init(), which is in .init.text
section, put mm_cmdline_setup() into it too.

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.

 - The 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 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 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
   exclusively into a single MM.

 - 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
   Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of
   mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical.

 - The 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 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 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 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 series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan
   performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code.

 - The series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and
   totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the
   page allocator code.

 - The series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and
   classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which
   SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work.

 - The series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling"
   from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai
   has observed in the memory-failure implementation.

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

 - The series "Minor memcg cleanups &amp; prep for memdescs" from Matthew
   Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs.

 - The series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache
   introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers.

 - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages"
   from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages,
   separately for file and anon pages.

 - The series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia
   separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim
   statistics.

 - The series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from
   Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim
   code.
