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 & 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.

Pull ptrace update from Eric Biederman: "ptrace: Stop supporting SIGKILL for PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT Recently I had a conversation where it was pointed out to me that SIGKILL sent to a tracee stropped in PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT is quite difficult for a tracer to handle. Keeping SIGKILL working after the process has been killed is pain from an implementation point of view. So since the debuggers don't want this behavior let's see if we can remove this wart for the userspace API If a regression is detected it should only need to be the last change that is the reverted. The other two are just general cleanups that make the last patch simpler" * tag 'signal-for-v5.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: signal: Drop signals received after a fatal signal has been processed signal: Guarantee that SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set on process exit signal: Ensure SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT gets set in do_group_exit

passing kmap_local_page() result to __kernel_write() is unsafe - random ->write_iter() might (and 9p one does) get unhappy when passed ITER_KVEC with pointer that came from kmap_local_page(). Fix by providing a variant of __kernel_write() that takes an iov_iter from caller (__kernel_write() becomes a trivial wrapper) and adding dump_emit_page() that parallels dump_emit(), except that instead of __kernel_write() it uses __kernel_write_iter() with ITER_BVEC source.

Use the Maple Tree iterator instead. This is too complicated for the VMA iterator to handle, so let's open-code it for now. If this turns out to be a common pattern, we can migrate it to common code.

Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler
in general.
By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is
ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake
up early, as is currently possible.
As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up
two PF_flags (yay!).
Specifically; the current scheme works a little like:
freezer_do_not_count();
schedule();
freezer_count();
And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer()
through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer
considers it frozen and continues.
However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count()
stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run
before its time.
That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel
threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace
etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible
for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back.
This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9)
where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run.
As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add
the following state transitions:
TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN
The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL
(IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state
is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer
causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is
lost).
The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since
their canonical state is in ->jobctl.
With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are
free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

Now that wait_task_inactive()'s @match_state argument is a mask (like ttwu()) it is possible to replace the special !match_state case with an 'all-states' value such that any blocked state will match.

In 403bad72b67d ("coredump: only SIGKILL should interrupt the
coredumping task") Oleg modified the kernel to drop all signals that
come in during a coredump except SIGKILL, and suggested that it might
be a good idea to generalize that to other cases after the process has
received a fatal signal.
Semantically it does not make sense to perform any signal delivery
after the process has already been killed.
When a signal is sent while a process is dying today the signal is
placed in the signal queue by __send_signal and a single task of the
process is woken up with signal_wake_up, if there are any tasks that
have not set PF_EXITING.
Take things one step farther and have prepare_signal report that all
signals that come after a process has been killed should be ignored.
While retaining the historical exception of allowing SIGKILL to
interrupt coredumps.
Update the comment in fs/coredump.c to make it clear coredumps are
special in being able to receive SIGKILL.
This changes things so that a process stopped in PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT can
not be made to escape it's ptracer and finish exiting by sending it
SIGKILL. That a process can be made to leave PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT and
escape it's tracer by sending the process a SIGKILL has been
complicating tracer's for no apparent advantage. If the process needs
to be made to leave PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT all that needs to happen is to
kill the proceses's tracer. This differs from the coredump code where
there is no other mechanism besides honoring SIGKILL to expedite the
end of coredumping.
