<id>bbbb65770bf44d3eaec5b7784028756b58ea08db</id>
<content type='text'>
In system_supports_bti() we use cpus_have_const_cap() to check for
ARM64_HAS_BTI, but this is not necessary and alternative_has_cap_*() or
cpus_have_final_*cap() would be preferable.

For historical reasons, cpus_have_const_cap() is more complicated than
it needs to be. Before cpucaps are finalized, it will perform a bitmap
test of the system_cpucaps bitmap, and once cpucaps are finalized it
will use an alternative branch. This used to be necessary to handle some
race conditions in the window between cpucap detection and the
subsequent patching of alternatives and static branches, where different
branches could be out-of-sync with one another (or w.r.t. alternative
sequences). Now that we use alternative branches instead of static
branches, these are all patched atomically w.r.t. one another, and there
are only a handful of cases that need special care in the window between
cpucap detection and alternative patching.

Due to the above, it would be nice to remove cpus_have_const_cap(), and
migrate callers over to alternative_has_cap_*(), cpus_have_final_cap(),
or cpus_have_cap() depending on when their requirements. This will
remove redundant instructions and improve code generation, and will make
it easier to determine how each callsite will behave before, during, and
after alternative patching.

When CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL=y, the ARM64_HAS_BTI cpucap is a strict
boot cpu feature which is detected and patched early on the boot cpu.
All uses guarded by CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL happen after the boot CPU
has detected ARM64_HAS_BTI and patched boot alternatives, and hence can
safely use alternative_has_cap_*() or cpus_have_final_boot_cap().

Regardless of CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL, all other uses of ARM64_HAS_BTI
happen after system capabilities have been finalized and alternatives
have been patched. Hence these can safely use alternative_has_cap_*) or
cpus_have_final_cap().

This patch splits system_supports_bti() into system_supports_bti() and
system_supports_bti_kernel(), with the former handling where the cpucap
affects userspace functionality, and ther latter handling where the
cpucap affects kernel functionality. The use of cpus_have_const_cap() is
replaced by cpus_have_final_cap() in cpus_have_const_cap, and
cpus_have_final_boot_cap() in system_supports_bti_kernel(). This will
avoid generating code to test the system_cpucaps bitmap and should be
better for all subsequent calls at runtime. The use of
cpus_have_final_cap() and cpus_have_final_boot_cap() will make it easier
to spot if code is chaanged such that these run before the ARM64_HAS_BTI
cpucap is guaranteed to have been finalized.

Like the other calls in this function virt_to_page() expects
a pointer, not an integer.

However since many architectures implement virt_to_pfn() as
a macro, this function becomes polymorphic and accepts both a
(unsigned long) and a (void *).

Fix this up with an explicit cast.

<title>mm: remove zap_page_range and create zap_vma_pages</title>

<id>e9adcfecf572fcfaa9f8525904cf49c709974f73</id>
<content type='text'>
zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas.  While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma.  In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas.  When
crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with
the new vma should be made.

Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following:
- Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within
  the passed vma.  Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and
  can use this new routine.
- For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call
  zap_page_range_single().
- Remove zap_page_range.

<title>vdso/timens: Refactor copy-pasted find_timens_vvar_page() helper into one copy</title>

find_timens_vvar_page() is not architecture-specific, as can be seen from
how all five per-architecture versions of it are the same.

(arm64, powerpc and riscv are exactly the same; x86 and s390 have two
characters difference inside a comment, less blank lines, and mark the
!CONFIG_TIME_NS version as inline.)

Refactor the five copies into a central copy in kernel/time/namespace.c.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

Commit 9c698bff66ab ("ARM: ensure the signal page contains defined contents")
poisoned the unused portions of the signal page for 32-bit Arm.

Implement the same poisoning for the compat signal page on arm64 rather
than using __GFP_ZERO.
